I've been slowly building the accessories on my Terra over the past year and was ready to buy the Touratech 'quick release' headlight guard only to find they are no longer manafactured. I've tried Touatech Thailand, UK, Netherlands etc but no luck. Love the Terra so not giving up yet - anyone out there selling please let me know. Cheers...

Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!

Philip from motoadventurestore.be is very helpful, he also owns a Terra himself. I doubt he has the TT headlight guard in stock though, but it is worth a try. He might also have alternative suggestions.
Contacted Philip (who also had one on order for his Terra), but unfortunately Motoadventures no longer supply the headlight guard. I contacted Touratech a while back to see whether they could supply one as a 'special order' but again the answer was no. I was thinking of making one myself but would be difficult to achieve Touratech quality and avoid the 'home made' look. I think either finding a used one or looking into custom made are the only options...? Will keep you posted...
Hi There,
I've just heard back from Touratech who say they would need an order of 100 to fabricate more, As we only have a total of 5 (including you) it seems emxremely doubtful that we'll reach that number. It's disappointing but I'll let you know if I hear of any other options...
Cheers,

As an another option for headlight protection I use a stick on film. It's designed for headlights It's about 3mm thick.
I've had it on for over 2 years.

Best advice!
I did exactly the same - found a second hand (not that you could tell) one on ADVRider for $30. They do come up - AND it's fun browsing;-)

On my GS I bought a super resilient and strong self adhesive film, made by those clever people at 3M (is there anything these Minnesotans can't make...?) it was cut to size for the 1150 and about 3mm thick. I seriously think it offers equal or even better rock and chip protection than the rip-off Touratech thingy. No doubt you can't get it ready cut for the Husky, but if you get a piece big enough and cut it with a pair of scissors, I reckon you're home and hosed!

Anyone with metalwork experience knows exactly why they DON'T "weld this up in a jiffy".
There's THE reason TT is forsaking the profits of that product. And they have already done all the hard yards of design, tooling, sourcing materials, having made the product before.
