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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
I tapped and installed a 3/8 helicoil then used a 3/8 stainless bolt from ace hardware. I have this on both of my bikes and it is the most secure hand guard mount I have ever had. They never try to rotate when you hit stuff.
Have those bars on my wife's bike. The only thing I don't like about them is the sweep. Makes the brake lever stick out at a weird angle, but they do have a nice height to them.
Like I said before, not only is it easy, I have never had more secure hand guards. I also drilled another mount hole on the interior end of the guard( about 1/2" away) so the clamps still match the taper of the bars after narowing the bars.
