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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

new bar clamps-help need with gps/gadget mounting

I'm designing some new bar clamps for my '07 TE for 1.125" bars that I purchased from a fellow CH member. I could buy them, but I can get them made for about the same price and buying would just be too easy.

Any help with the following queastions/requests would be much appreciated.

Questions:

1.) Of those who have mounted a GPS, is there a universal mounting hole like on cameras? If so, what size is it?

2.) Does anybody know what size the universal mounting holes for cameras are?

3.) Is there a time when you needed to mount more than 2 gadgets?

4.) Where did you get the mounting kit for the GPS/is it a popluar option for mounting gps units on bikes?

5.) If you purchased a gps mouting kit design-specific to motorcycles, did it come with a bar clamp? If so, did the bar clamp have a tapped hole/threaded rod configuration (kind of like a mirror mount)? If so, what size is the tapped hole?

6.) What were the problems you encountered with mounting the device? Biggest gripe?

7.) What were the highpoints of the mouting system?

Requests:

1.) Could someone please post pic's showing specific details of how the GPS or ANY other device is mounted on the bars. (The more the merrier here-show me what you got. I don't care if you got a flat screen and a microwave mounted on the bars, I want to see it.)

2.) I need a website from which you or someone you know has actually purchased such a mounting device.

3.) I need to see some pics of how your steering stabilzer mounts under the bar.

Lots of different hardware many many combo. Read carefully.
