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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE 450 Bars

Hi everyone, happy new year.
I have a 09 450TE, I'm 6' 2" and standing find the bars to low, it has the standard spacer fitted, how do you other guys find this? Obviously there are a few roads to go down, new bars or machined spacers. I'd like a few opinions before I spend money on bars, also has anyone fitted Pivotpegs, and there opinions.
Thanks.
 
I'm on a TE310 and actually felt like the bars were to low when standing, and to high when sitting for me at 6'-1". I ended up just putting a stabalizer on which lifted them a bit and found a compormise in where I had them rotated to make it work right, primarily when standing. The other thing you might consider, is lowering your pegs a bit per the following link:

I tried the pivotpegs and personally didn't care for them. They didn't work with my bike carrier for one, but more importantly, they made me feel unstable most of the time. Grant it, I didn't give them a lot of time to make a full evaluation, but I don't think they were for me in any event. Great quality, and top notch customer service though. If nothing else, they sure looked pretty!
