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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Shock absorbing bar mounts

Has anyone tried the bar mounts that absorb shot? I already have flexing bars but want even more help with shock transfer to my shoulder. I hope to start light riding again in June but want to give it as much help as I can.
 
Havnt tried em(like everything to be tight & rigid tbh) Walt but have you ever tried the thick foam handgrips? Like the old school foam type kids back in the 80's(maybe earlier) used on their pushies. Toby price & a lot of the other front runners use them for the finke desert race down under. I rode with a fella that had real bad elbows he used em on his 15 te300. I rode it but they felt really odd to me. Maybe worth looking into for additional assistance?
 
Try BYKAS.com, I believe he has some very nice proven rubber mounted flex bars...tell him teambowles sent ya

Just looked over there for fun as I'm getting to the point that my wrist is getting shot. That's a pretty penny but sorta like the idea of having a rigid bar. Flexx bars are weird to me, but then again I've never ridden them long enough to get used to them.
 
I haven't been on his site in a long time, good family friend and family owned business. Ive ridden his bike with them on it and its very nice and they make a big difference. $229?? Ya I thought they would be cheaper too but as with everything he does its top notch.

Edit: 30 day money back guarantee too wow!!
 
My mate has this on his 450 and absolutely loves it...l can't say they worked for me as it was a short ride and l felt his steering damper more until l hit the same stretch with my bike and l could feel the jarring through my protaper with stock bar clamps and pillow grips.
His unit are the Xtrig units http://www.xtrig.com/en/Products/PHDS-System.html - not cheap though!!
 
I recently purchased the PDHS (htm/husky POWERPARTS version of the XTRIG bar mounts)
From what I've read, there will be no noticeable difference until I purchase the optional soft green elastomers for roughly $30. I have a difficult time believing this, and will be installing them with the included yellow medium density elastomers. I will try my best to remember to reply back later with my initial impressions after a couple hours on the clamps. I will say however that out of the box they look and feel very nice!20170515_201834.jpg
 
Contrary to what I wrote, I saved the yellow bands for a rainy day and installed the green ones first. I still feel vibes but the mount helps a lot when you're actually riding, not getting armpump nearly as fast or often any longer. Peace
 
they are never inexpensive. lots of r&d, need to be safe, bullet proof etc and then... limited production. I would think sales in the hundreds not even thousands. its a high value item at low volume. PS I have 2 sets of flexxbars one is reserved for my TX300 the other are cut downs a little less wide that were on my TE310/TXC310
 
My only gripe with the PDHS is that every time I crash hard it tweaks my bars a bit. This didn't happen as much before, and I fall often lol
