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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Bent bars or mounts?

My bars on the 630 are not aligned. I have taken the mounts apart and everything seems okay. But the bars do not appear bent either. Would it be wise to replace the rubber mount with aluminum if they are made (ideas)? Anything else to check? I have looked at this a couple of time and I am stumped.

1. The stock rubber bushings are not great...
2. Your one piece top clamp is probably warped and pulling everything crooked when you snug it down.

I bent my top clamp slightly once in a trail drop and could never align the bars until I pulled it, clamped it up in a vice and straightened it out.
 
product code? is that limy for P/N? i would get the P/N and see what else it fits in sure BRP has what you need they just don't know it
 
Call 'em! They are very helpful. Had numerous conversations/emails with them trying to find a stabilizer pivot for my bike.
 
Fixed my problems. Yes, the top clamp was bent. I tried straightening it, no luck there. Scored a deal on a Highway Dirtbike mounts and clamp setup and ordered the BRP nylon mount bushings.

The BRP mounts for the 610 are the same for the 630 minus the steel tube in the center. Just use the 10mm bolts. Watch the clearance between the lower nut and the steering lock collar as the nylon bushing is thicker than the rubber.

Here is the BRP part number: 00-09 BRP Husqvarna Nylon Bar Mount Bushings (BMI-1007)

I found the top part of the clamp on my 610 was slightly twisted. I done my best to get it as straight as i could.
I have a lathe and it would be easy to make aluminium bushing replacements, or do they have to be made from nylon?
What aftermarket bar clamps are available and are they stronger?
 
Solid aluminum bushings will put every bit of vibration into the grips, you need a little dampening in the mounts.

Plenty of aftermarket options, including HDB.
 
I ended up making my own, it was a nice little project. Cant say i enjoyed turning nylon much though.
I bought some 30mm diameter 500mm long nylon rod for £8.63, still have 400mm left.
I used washers on the bottom so the nuts didnt dig into the nylon.
