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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Was going to mount a set of EE handguards PT# 50-4036B. After cutting the end of the grip I discovered the insert is a larger diameter than the inside of the handlebar. Checked their website and it shows this to be the correct model. I did not see any accessories that might provide a smaller set of inserts. Anyone got a fix?

I used a 3/8 heli-coil and a 3/8-16 stainless bolt( button head works nice). Works great and is more secure than normal mounts.

If you have the tomasselli bars (used to be stock) the inside diameter hole of the bars is different than standard 1 1/8" bars- the tomasselli's have more wall thickness.
If you have those bars you'll have to drill the ends to the standard ID to use standard hardware. If Water Racer's helicoil works with the tomasellies that would be an easy solution.

If you don't have tomasselli bars- then your inserts should work if you; (steel/thinwalls) 7/8bars=7/8 inserts, (fat bars/aluminum) 1 1/8 bars=1/1/8 inserts (they use the OD to describe)
 
Seems like a helicoil would be more work than just drilling the bars. Is there any extra benefit to using a helicoil?
 
Other than buying the kit, it is very simple to install. The advantage for me is on regular mounting hardware, everytime I hit a tree or fall the guard comes loose and rotates. With the heli-coil and bolt it has never moved.
This was taught to me buy many time ISDE veteran John Fero.

The wedge version will also pull out and result in bent guards. Just a question but why EE Guards? I have run them but didn't find them to be anything special. I have an old pair that I'll be puttig on my bike till I have the money to buy a set of Cycra or highway engineering ones.
