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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I'm not real thrilled about this idea, but it shows some "outside the box" thinking:

they don't fold, btw... slightly dangerous.
I hate to mention this, because it's even more mickey-mouse and dangerous: on the lower subframe mounts, you could install long (M10?) bolts, carriage bolts or even all-thread (but the end would a hazard with the all thread) and put a length of big fuel line over them- for looks mostly.

good luck.

mickey mouse? Well they work fine for occasional rides and I take them off when I ride the trails . I agree, not folding could be trouble for hard offroadng, but 99% of the time they are off, along with the bracket. For $7 it works great, especially if he has a date. :thumbsup:

The non-folding pegs are a safety issue; however using a cotter key as the pivot bolt is a dangerous technique and a bigger safety problem. When the cotter fails suddenly, think about where your passenger's feet goes (IOW: spinning wheel, chain/sprocket, brake rotor). Use a bolt for the pivot, which should fail gracefully and slowly, if at all.

you did see this from over a year ago, I hope:

nice. and easy, too. thanks.
Rizz- rotate the pegs about 30-45° so they fold (back) when the bike falls while moving (fingers x'd). check out your stock pegs for the correct angle (or any pegs, really)

later edit: whoa- don't use a cotter key as the peg pivot pin either! Hopefully (4 years later) this has changed. If not, change the allen (socket head cap screw) to a panhead to provide more room for a good pivot bolt... and your pegs may fold too.
