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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
The simple free fix for me was using the temporary plastic advertisement plate the dealer gave me. I drilled some holes through it and used it to mount my plate. Its lite and sturdy enough, plus it gives me some additional coverage in the back from rear tire spray
Are you worried about the fender catching the tire when the suspension compresses? That's why I mounted my plate higher, but I'm not sure how far the rear will compress. I've lost plates on other bikes, and it's a mess when that happens.
After i also lost the rear fender, did some modifications on the new replacement part (original part, ordered in holland for 27,- Euro's)
Removed the sharp corner (were the crack starts) and added some metal connections to the silencer connection point.
Hope this wil work!
A new rear fender you can order at: http://www.husqyparts.com/en/model/20130/tr_650_terra/oem/24033
Designed the metal bracket myself and ordered it at a laser cutting / metal company (247 tailor steel.com).
I attached the PDF file of the part (couldn't attach the DXF file). It is not a perfect fit but it fits.
Material: Stainless steel 316 (A4) thickness: 2mm
I wil try to make a redesign next few days.
