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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc Cheap footpegs?

Just ordered a pair of the black CNC brand ones. Thanks for tip Dirtdame.
After my feet looking for traction on the pegs my last ride, a few weeks ago, i had to get new pegs
I was actually going to get pegs for TR, but after that ride, no way
 
Remember to check full flipability and loc tight those studs in, went for a 3hour mud feast yesterday and can honestly say my feet didnt acidently slip off the pegs once, too much air in rear tyre and no studs in my boots ment a lot of picking up.
 
thanks for the heads up. haha, took me a second to clue in on the stud loc-tite. I'm like wait, my pegs mount using pins....duh!:)
 
Did anyone that got the CNC brand have to grind the stops that keeps the peg in horizontal position? Tried to install mine last night, they definitely don't sit level (outside to inside) nor do the seem level front to back. Gotta look at the front to back again, could just be my eyes, out to in though for sure are not level
 
No i just had to grind the edge off the side closest to frame for full mobility flippy uppyness, that on 2013 250? Should be the same as previous models but might not be.
Pictures say a thousand wordn n all post one up so we can see, i did put the opposite spring on the pegs as they didnt sit right.
 
my original response was for Husky fit
the Chinese pegs are made without quality control (there is no such thing in China)
that said in 1967 i bought a Honda S90 and was having fun till a foot peg broke and cost me a knee injury
a friend 4 years later broke a peg on a Suzuki, also had an injury
the European bikes were better built and the Japanese emulated them (they are now good quality)
now you would look to a country with no quality control for parts that could get you injured
personally i will not buy from there, my body parts mean too much to me
it's true you get what you pay for, so when i read about people using the Chinese brakes i feel the same way
this is not a rant but more of a warning that you get what you pay for
you have thousands of dollars tied up in a hobby that typically costs money and time to get to a place you can play and suddenly you get cheap on products that could cause injury
 
Not to contradict but you have to be very careful about what you buy.
Regardless of where it was made chinese have stepped up in quality department.
The chinese pegs dd posted are the ones i bought they are bulletproof! I use mine as tiedowns had more than a few spills and no signs of breaking, i would buy again in a heart beat if i needed more.
Im sorry a product failed on you in the past but dont write off countless other manufactures based on one bad experience.
 
I'd be willing to bet that have of the items on your bike were manufactured in China, or at least the components were.

just not willing to take that chance
 
ill admit to using a few chinese things but kudos to you if you choose not to. there was a time when bikes were guaranteed to not have have chinese parts..and you definitely own a few
 
First ride with the new CNC brand pegs off Ebay, mentioned at the beginning of this thread.
Worked great, lots of "boot traction", feet never slipped off once. Really like them.
Didnt keep from crashing though:D
