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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

High Bend bars

I'm 6'4 and have just taken delivery of a new to me 630. I'll be modding the brake and gear levers but am wondering what you tall guys are doing for bars / risers? I have a set of Rox 2" pivoting risers on another bike which are great but I do fint that when it gets chucked on the floor the riser can move if the bar hits the ground which leads to ten minutes with an allen key so I doib't I'll have those again.

Wondering if anyone has swapped out their bars and if so, for what? I'm looking at Renthal Dakar high bend for long periods of standing in the desert but it'd be good to get your views on these or any other bars which give a 1 3'4 " - 2 " rise from standard, whether that's with risers and or higher bend of bars

( I did search but found very little)
 
I have the Rox on my 610 and never any trouble! I put them on with a 3/8" drive Allen wrench, tight!

For long periods of straight-ish riding whilst standing I think the Rox would be great, but for tighter fast turns i think the geometry would be put out and life would get difficult. Just wondering if anyone has used a higher bend of bar
 
I find them very agreeable in tighter terrain, but that just me. We are all built different and will have different results from the Rox.
 
Take a look at highwaydirtbikes - they offer risers to go with their custom top clamps / handguards. You will probably have to relocate your dash, but that's going to be an issue with any risers.
 
For me in the UK, the HDB stuff is prohibitively expensive with the import tax etc. Just looking at the clamps and it looks like they can be turned around to bring the bars forward about 3/4 inch? Other than that I think the Rox might be it - my bike ha 25 mil risers and it's nowhere near enough. When standing if I lean forward to get the right balance the bars are so far underneath me that I can't accelerate properly without holding on too tightly
