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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

keep bending bolts on handle bars... help!!!

There was a thread on here where the single clamp was twisted, if its an issue and your not fussed about keeping the middle clamp remove it and cut it into the two seperate ones.

Check if they are actually even bent. On my bike the bar seems misaligned after almost every crash, but all i have to do is whack it to right direction using a lamp post or tree and it's good to go again. Sometimes the bar is aligned on the way to a one. My theory is that the rubber washers or just the slack in the connection gives yet the bar doesn't reset itself so it only needs a little whack to make it settle again.
