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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Right this is the first thread i've started so i hope the photos load.BRP_1.gif

Here's another stabiliser option from BRP that uses a Scott damper. It's one of the first times i've bought a kit of any sort and been able to fit it without any modifications, BRP do some nice gear. It's a sub-mounted kit so it will raise your bar about 1 inch, i ordered a Barrett clutch cable PN 101-37-10610 which i've read plenty about on these forums, it seems better quality than the OEM one and the length was perfect.

I haven't followed Scott's recomendation on how to setup the damper, after talking to some mates who do some desert racing, i've turned the high speed circuit up high and the low speed down low, this suits the tracks i'm riding, it does it's job when you hit an obstacle at high speed and in the tight stuff you don't have to fight the bars against the damper, but the setup will be different for everyone.

That setup sounds about right. High on high, low to middling on low is how I set mine. I can just feel a little resistance through the bars when stationary which I don't notice on the move.
 
when i first fitted a Scott damper to my DRZ i had the low speed wound up too high and would keep on laying the bike over in slow turns, had me scratching my head for a while, but this setup works really well

have to correct myself too, on 06-07 models it raises the bars 22mm, on 08-09 models it only raises the bars 4mm, so now i'll be looking at a higher set of bars to make standing up more comfortable but i reckon the cable will still have plenty of length
