• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 my Handlebars...

I got my Terra just a few days ago, first time off road with it and I hit a pothole in a dirt road, bent the handlebars pretty bad. Now I'm looking for a replacement/upgrade. Not sure where to look or what size.
 
Top right hand corner under search... type in... handle bars, fat bars, bar risers. etc.
Everything under the sun about bars will pop up for ya...lots of reading.:thumbsup:
 
Personally I like the bend and sweep of the OEM Magura bars that came on my TE310. They were okay as delivered, but after adding the Highway Dirt Bikes upper and lower clamps necessary to install their hand guards, the additional height made them perfect for me. Very comfortable riding position.
 
The OEM bars have this skinny piece at the end that is threaded inside for the end caps. Their wielded onto the bars, what could I do to remount the end caps if I get aftermarket bars?
 
Do you want to remount the bar weights, or fit hand guards? Bark busters and other hand guards will sell an expanding piece that goes in the hollow end. You should be able to just buy this expanding piece as a separate part
 
I'm not to sure what the stock dimensions are, I would like maybe a little narrower and taller. Certainly something stronger than stock, what do you think I should look for? I've never shopped for handlebars before.
 
I found a set of braced bars on ebay for a pretty low price, I'll give those a try. If anything happens to them then I think I'll try some fat bars. For now i just want to be able to ride it again.
 
My stock bars got tweaked in an offroad drop as well. I will likely go with protaper 7/8"s with a high bend.
 
I didn't even drop the bike, I just pushed down on the handlebars. I'm really surprised they bent like that I'm not a very big guy.
 
7/8" bar aren't worth keeping on that beast. Like Kelly has stated...400lbs
Puts some fatties on there you wouldn't be sorry.
 
What would be my best source for some mounts for fat bars? I've already asked Kelly about the Motorsportz mounts and he said he's out of them. I'm not sure if their just universal or if I need a certain size.
 
Basic adapters are available on eBay or amazon. They will raise the bars roughly 3/4 of an inch. Make sure you are buying the correct item since there are lots of choices.
 
Looks like highway dirt bikes has the lower clamps, only thing is they ask if the bolts are 10 or 12mm, the outside diameter of the bolts is 8mm. Or are they just talking about the bolt head? The stock ones are star bits.

Jon, there's a bit of info starting on page 4 http://www.cafehusky.com/threads/650-terra-farkles.28445/page-4

A lot of people seem to like the Rox Risers. Going from 7/8 to 1 1/8 is no problem. The kind of adapter/risers that fit into the bottom portion of the clamps and transition won't work because the lower half of the mount isn't level. These are the one's that won't work...

I just ordered the HDB 1 1/8" kit with guards, bars, top and bottom clamps. I selected the 1 3/4" bottom clamps, it says 10mm bolts, guess I'll find out when I get them if it will work.
