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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I had a hard time finding stock passenger pegs so I fabricated my own:

I bought Bike Master Pegs for $7. See attached pics.

The pegs arent the best quality but it works fine. I can take them off easily by removing a cotter pin. I would not bear full weight on the pegs when the passsenger gets on and off , but to ride on and balance thier feet /weight it works fine. I gave my kid a ride using these for about 30 minutes on and off road and it worked great. I had to cut off the original 10mm stud and drill a thru hole. I then used a metric bolt to attach the bracket. The pegs do not flip up out of the way since the metric bolt head is large, but this is OK for me. I just remove the cotter pin to take off the peg and just leave the bracket attached to the bike.​

Looks like an easy solution. I've taken my wife for a ride sharing the pegs and it was uncomfortable to say the least. She doesn't weigh much more than a 12 yr old kid so I think the subframe should handle her weight. Hmmm, after the baby pops out of her maybe I'll give this a shot and take on a short offroad excursion (she have to drop back to "fighting weight" first).
 
That is brilliant. Never thought of using that mounting point. Very stealth-like. You've got my wheels spinning out of control.
 
I made a this comment in the other footpeg thread, but I thought I'd add here for future readers:

DO NOT USE A COTTER KEY FOR THE PIVOT PIN.

Use a steel clevis or even a bolt (1/4" 6mm at the very-very minimum). A 100lb/50Kg kid or girlfriend could generate 5x's that force very easily and could shear the cotter in an instant... leaving feet or legs headed for the spinning wheel, chain/sprocket, rotor, swingarm or moving ground.

by using a pan socket head bolt instead as the attaching hardware would leave room for a more substantial pivot; and then using a clevis pivot pin would retain the quick detach feature of this otherwise good idea.

good luck.
