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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Wolfman or Giantloop?

I'm looking at a weeklong troutfishing bonanza in Quebec in early Sept. so, I'm looking for a rear bag to compliment the dirtbagz for this and other longer trips. I don't want to use the Wolfman Alpha (too freaking huge for the 610) but wondered if anybody's used the smaller Wolfman small expedition rear and how it worked out?

Also, there's the giantloop. Not waterproof, but looks like a nice system overall. Any comments?
 
I have a buddy who rides with the Giant Loop bag on his KTM, we did 1000 miles in Baja with no troubles. It rides tight to the bike and no flopping even in big whoops. One thing I did notice is that stuff tend to collect at the bottom of the loop and you have to unpack the bag to get to some stuff. Compartments would be a nice feature.
 
Thanks for the quick info. I'll look in that direction. Wonder if the Giant Loop can be used with the dirtbagz or if the bagz need to stay home?
 
I ran this Wolfman bag on the same trip. It was almost too big to strap to the PMB rack on my 450x but held up well and was very water/dust proof. The yellow does pick up rub marks easily however. If the bag were 2/3 in size it would have worked better for my application.

You might be able to run the Giant Loop and Dirtbags as the GL mimicks the position of a passengers legs and the DB mount farther back on the rear fender. Check ADVrider.com for more info as I am sure someone over there has tried it already.
