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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Where to mount a pair of auxiliary light on TE630

Hi guys,
I have just purchased a pair of 30W auxiliary lights for my TE630. Does anyone have a good idea as to where to mount them?Aux light.jpg
 
I had mine at the lower triple clamps but moved them to the Barkbusters because of the Safari tank.

Thanks guys,

I will have to mount the lights onto the Barkbusters as I also have a Safari tank. Do you connect the lights along with the high beam wiring, if so where would be the best place to connect? This would save additional wiring , relay, and on/off switch.

DYNONBOB, compliment to your clean looking bike! Do you have any problem with light reflecting off your screen? I will have the same problem with my Slipstream screen.

My headlight lense is looking rather sad too. I am not sure if it is caused by the 55Watts HID light that I installed.

I took the windshield off for now because the brackets also hit the tank. I had a little reflection from the headlight but rarely ride this bike after dark.

I pulled power for mine off of the battery with an in-line fuse block and a relay pulling the signal from the high beam relay, so they're on their own fuse, but they come on with the high beam.

Thanks. Sounds like a good plan, I will do the same.
 
Just got back from a big ride that i clocked a lot of night hours.Have them mounted on the barkbusters. Worked excellently.I have power to a small fuse block mounted up front.This is hooked to a relay wired off the high beam feed at the headlight also have a switch to turn them off.



 
WickedWill, nice fuse block. Where did you get it from? Is there an easy way to tap into the high beam relay? I think it is the Green/Black wire is the high beam relay wire?

I am heading off for a big ride next month. Melbourne to Mt Dare, ride across the Simpson Desert to Birdsville, then onto Cape York, down through the coast to Brisbane & Fraser Island before heading straight home.
 
That is an impressive ride.
I thought that my planned Mornington Peninsular to Cape York (in a direct route as possible) sounded ambitious.

The fuse block came from supercheap i think.

I tapped into the wire at the headlight socket for high beam.The relay i used is just for the aux lights,it came with the lights.Battery goes to fuse block,fuse block power to the relay , high beam wire triggers the relay.I have a switch inline from the relay to the lights so i can just run high beam if necessary.

Your trip sounds awesome.I can't wait to get back out to the simpson on the 630.
 
Thanks. I will head out to Supercheap Auto tomorrow and pick one up. Nice wiring job too.

This will tidy up my wiring. I will hook up the heated grip, GPS and cigarette lighter socket to the fuse block.
