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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

ALTRider Crash Bar supplemental part will be available

Everyone seems happy enough, I will unstick this thread now, and consider the issue resolved.

When do you think AltRider will make this part available to their Australian distributor AdventureMoto.com.au for despatch to customers?

If you ordered your parts from our Australian distributor, please contact them right away regarding your crash bar fix component. As soon as the parts land in Seattle, a batch of the crash bar fix will be forwarded to our Australian distributor who will fulfill your requests.


For any customers in the USA, we will directly handle any inquiries and shipments of this part –email us at info@altrider.com. Any customers from outside the USA will need to contact the dealer or distributor where the crash bars were purchased.
 
I still have not received my fix. My last email from the Aust. distributor suggested AltRider had not despatched them yet.
 
Got mine today. If it hadn't been for this thread I may have had a problem thanks for posting this information and thanks Alt Rider.
 
I ordered a set of the Altrider crash bars on Thursday evening before xmas and only paid standard shipping, and they were delivered the following Monday with the added part. Fortunately from this site I knew there was an extra part, I found a picture of what to do with it, because otherwise, it was not mentioned in the instructions.

Has anybody gone down hard with these bars? I was wondering about real world experience. They seem solid, but am just a bit worried about the upper mount to the aluminum engine (through the frame, the frame likely taking most of the force in a crash).

The bars look like a very good place to mount lights.
