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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Have any of you riders tried using a kit for the bolts or trip tree for vibration dampening to reduce hand fatigue? If so what brand or recommendation? Im starting to consider. I dont mean steering damp either
 
[R DAMEDIf you want t really get wild. $$ go for those air damped spring setups that some of the pros are using.
 
make a bar snake......close fitting fuel hose, fill with silicone, snake it through, plug the throttle tube end w/ a hot glued cork tapped in past flush (recessed). cheap n easy, no parts to wear out/replace and it works.
 
Ironically and strange enough the tc 250 motocross bike comes with rubber mounted bars while the enduro comes with solid mount...
 
I have xtrig phds on my rmz, and I can't say I actually notice much difference. Then again, I'm slow, and I'm using the yellow rubbers. Seems faster guys notice a difference with those, and slower guys tend to like the green. Heard some fast guys complain that the green feel too disconnected.
 
Another good thing about the Fasstco Flexx system is that you can mix and match polymer dampers among 3 hardness's and well as adjusting the screw for preload on the dampers.
 
I have run the PHDS system with green elastomers on both my FE501 for over 8,000 miles and now my 19 300i and it is fantastic. I actually tested this back to back with the Fasst bars but could not get use to the change in handlebar angle when landing hard. They are both equal in the amount of vibration they remove so pick your poison.

Hell, just fill the handle bars with silicone and be done with it. Doesn't weigh as much or cost as much, but it works. Secret instructions available.
