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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc LOWER TRIPLE CLAMP

454x

Husqvarna
Pro Class
Has anyone had a problem with they're lower triple clamp steering stop sheering off on either the left or right side? When I bought my bike it was sheered off so, I bought a whole new lower and low and behold it has sheered off again like a hot knife through butter.
 
where it hits the frame? did you sling it up the track?
wich bike is it? could you weld another stop back on it?
 
ya mean the bump stop on the clamp or, pic maybe?? my welder does wonders with triple-clamps. ill give ya his number in case yer interested.
 
Common issue since adam was a boy, the issue is the sharp and hardness of the metal that strikes the stoppers which rounding off the hard edge helps prevent but won't stop this from occurring. Grind flat the sheered off stopper then you can either drill and place a rubber or hard nylon bump stop or have it aluminum weld a new stop.

Some guys have a welded a bar on the frame with nylon ends that hits the lower clamp base and it seems to work better than the bump stop.

Yep, the same design all the way through the range (and with other make's as well). The welded bar stopper on the frame was OE on my old KDX (better design).

Should say, that design is the same from 1990's (maybe 80's) onwards......and same issue.

PS..Stop falling and you wont have to replace them:p
