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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Windshield?

Here is my solution :cheers:

I read this whole thread because I have not been happy with my windshield. One problem I have when spaced out from the original plastics is headlight glare reflecting off the backside of the wind shield. I have not seen any talk of this. Have any of you noticed this or is the high beam indicator so blinding that is all you notice?

People have taken notice. The solution they have seemed to of found is to put any sort of tape over it to lessen the brightness or totally block it out.

I finally cut a piece of electricians tape and placed it strategically over the damn high beam light...sheesh it's bright.
 
I got my screen from screens for bikes. The screen looks just like the factory one but about 2" to 2.5" taller.
They also come in different colours.
I got mine in a light tint, it looks great.

Hi Biff,
On the screensforbikes web site it says the husky screen is 135mm or 9 1/4 inches
Should that read 235mm?
My factory husky screen is too short for me , 6ft 1 , maybe this screen will be better with helmet noise
With no screen I get minimal helmet noise , but would like less wind pressure chest
Its amazing how quiet things are when standing up at 100kph
