• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

What's weak about the 630 side stand?

The manual says it should support ONLY the bike, not the bike and rider. When I mount a bike this tall, especially one with a tail bag, I like to step up on the left foot peg abd swing my other leg over. This side stand is not strong enough to do that?

I know it's too short, or the angle is wrong, depending on how you want to fix it. Bike leans over too far. Today I stopped on an ever-so-slightly off camber surface and dismounted, only to have to catch my bike as it fell over. MY KLR stand made the bike so upright you could dismount and watch the bike fall over the other way. You'd think these guys get their side stand designers from Microsoft.
 
Welded a piece of aluminum on mine about two months after I got my bike. Props it up nice and a bit more surface area to keep from sinking in the sand.thumbnail_IMG_0505.jpg
