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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

P3 Heat shield fittment for TE310

TE310

TE310

Husqvarna
B Class
Hello,

I have a 2009 TE310 and just received my P3 Heat shield (Pirie performance products). I just can't get it to mount up right.

There are 3 brackets that are used to secure it to the pipe with metal cable clamps.

When I hold the carbon fiber guard by itself to the bike, it is molded right. But, when I put the fastening brackets up against it, I get a strange fit with about 3/4" gap. Also, the guard doesn't come all the way back then, leaving the heater exposed. THATS WHERE I MELTED MY PANTS TO THE PIPE!!!

I saw photos on here with the guard mounted to a bike. It seemed to mount differently. These are hand trimmed so I'm wondering if mine got cut wrong.

Can anyone please post photos of one fitted correctly. With and without the guard mounted so I can see what I might be doing wrong.

I hate to have paid $100 for this if it doesn't fit like a glove!!! :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::doh::doh::banghead:

I did not like the mounting stand-offs that came with the guards, so I made my own from stainless steel hose clamp material and stainless steel hose clamps. The home-made mounts position the guards much closer to the exhaust pipe and they look nicer that way (at least to me).

Maybe the new owner of my TE310 can take some closeups so you can see the positioning better...


BTW, my homemade mounts are very difficult to mount, but I figured I'd only have to do it once. How often would you really want to remove and replace the guards :excuseme:

I'll see if I have the materials on hand to show details of my mounts.
 
That is a picture I have seen before. Obviously much closer to the pipe than the stock standoffs.

I want it to sit much more like yours, about 1/4-1/2 inch off the pipe at most. IF I could figure out a way, I'd mount the damn thing to the pipe itself....
 
By the way... I was following your site very closely during the selection process for my bike... I'm sorry to see you sold it and appreciate the detail you documented your journey with!
 
If that is a steel pipe just have someone weld some mounts directly to the pipe. Tall nuts would work.

Not a very good picture, but I didn't want to remove the shield in 25F weather. Looks like it could be a PITA to remount. Basically it looks like a hose clamp, which holds another strap, which secures the nut which the bolt screws into.

And, BTW, here is a picture of the bike with it's winter clothes on and decals on the IMS tank

That is one sharp lookin bike, including the new shoes! :lol:

My (ex) sweet Italian red head is dressed for play :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
 
I got the guard fitted.... Eric Pirie with P3 was great. He went back and forth with me on the phone and email. Even offered to return it if I didn't like the fittment in the end.... Thumbs up! love the guard!:thumbsup:
