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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Shortening clutch throw

There is a threaded knob/screw behind the lever this will wind the lever in or out to suit hand sizing

Yes, thank you. But I'm wondering about shortening the distance of lever travel to disengage the clutch its self. I have the lever moved out till it is almost kissing the shield of my bark buster to fit my grip reach; but, I'd like to shorten the pull. I thought perhaps the piston in the actuator cylinder and/or master cylinder might could be changed/modified, or something like that. I had a hand injury that effects the angle my ring and pinky fingers bend, and it plays hell with levers hitting my ring finger's central knuckle. I'm also fixing to trim down the lever to two finger length, unless a "shorty" lever is available.
 
Interesting... The Midwest Mountain Engineering lever is a shorty, but also lighter pull which means longer travel. This is accomplished through a different pivot point.

So, as much as I love my MME lever, I wouldn't recommend it for you.
 
I believe you can purchase a few other brands that have different throw lengths-not necessarily Husky specific. Not sure if there is a separate internals kit for your mode;l clutch however.
 
The only way to change the throw distance is to change the pivot point. The throw will be shorter but will take more force. You dont get something for nothing.
