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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

My top handlebar clamp is bent and will not let handlebars get straight. Does anybody know any better option to the stock clamps, that will not let them get all cockeyed when I tip it over?
 
BRP makes aluminum cones that replace the rubber cones that mount your clamps. Replace cones and clamps and you're good to go. BRP should have clamps too if you call and ask.
 
I've used aftermarket ones from a kx450f they fit just fine on my older cr 125 (same top clamp as newer models I believe) they would get tweaked it a crash but could be straightened on the trail with the wheel between your legs.

With any set up something has to give, better twisted bar mount than bent bars IMO.


My current bike has the stock clamps I just twist that mount back straight when it gets tweaked. Some ppl have also cut off the bars connects the two clamps.
 
I had the same problem as you. I ended up having my top clamp drilled out and tapped. This more or less makes it a solid mount setup. I than used Zip Ty racing's bar mounts. They work great and are a normal non-offset design as compared to the stockers.
 
Bills CNC inserts on mine. Doesnt get tweaked anymore wind the wind blows the wrong way on my bike.
