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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

G450x triple clamps on a TE449

Did a search, didn't see anything. Not sure if this is a really stupid question either given I am unfamiliar with compatibility between bikes as far as triples go, but....

Will G450x triple clamps work on the TE449?

I would like to open up the cockpit a bit more on the TE449 and it looks like the G450x uses dual bar mounting points like the KTMs. Goal is getting the bars forward, not necessarily up.

I have seen other suggestions (adapting enduro engineering kawasaki risers for up and forward) and of course using something like rox (which doesn't seem to be recommended).

Thanks for the help guys!
 
I dont know but would highly doubt it. The 449 has a standard husky type tripe and different forks.
 
Better to go with the Husqvarna hard parts triple clamps. The forks on the 450x's were 45mm too, not sure if they ever went to 48mm's.
 
Mate I can tell you the forks on the BMW 450 are very average and the clamp offset was quite peculiar to ride with. Not my cuppa tea old chap.
 
Before spending any money to get the bars forward, try removing the bars and rotating the lower bar mounts 180 degrees then re install the bars. This should give you some more room, if not, do what Tinken suggested and get the triple clamps from the special parts catalogue. I have them on my TC250 and there is a lot of adjustment in them, not just bar position but steering offset as well
