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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hey Guys,

So have read through posts of best way to modify return spring bolt and have done that, but the biggest problem I have is that after installing a lowering link if the bike is not on perfectly flat ground (or cannot find a dip to put stand into) the bike will just not stay on stand.

Am prepared to take it to someone to cut and reweld the aluminum stand but unsure how much to shorten it by. Anyone done this and if so how much should be cut out or is there a better solution??

Thanks,
 
measure a stock husky to the kickstand tab. Measure yours cut the difference off the stand. Or roll the bike onto some blocks and see how much u have to raise it to have it sit stabil.
 
Thanks aviduser I'm either real tired or just a dummy. I like and will do the blocks thing. Now that mine are motard my kick stand is way too long. Motard or tard that's me tonight
 
Forgot my basic geometry, triangles, hypotenuse, etc.

Would we be more accurate by having a helper lean the bike to the desired angle then measuring from the bolt to the ground following the same angle of the kickstand?
