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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Tommaselli or Magura fatbars?

Who has tried out these two handlebars? The measure the same width but I think the Tommi's have more pull back. I think I prefer Tommaselli bars. The Magura's seem better for standing up while the Tommi's fell better for sitting. I have always been a low boy rider so I think I need to get some Tommaselli's for my TE 630.
 
Everyones a little different, but I had Magura's on my Ktm and liked them. The stock Tommasellis were nice as well that came with my 09TE450. I got the Protaper EVO Windham-RM-Mid bend which seems a compromise between the two- for me I was trying to get simular bars to the Tomi's but higher. Point is you can study all the bends that are available and find exactly what you want. I have had Cr-Highs which are popular but for me I developed forearm pain that would persist for weeks after a couple hours of riding. I find I like less pull back and higher bars. I always cut the width to about 30" depending on how much room I need for levers and switches.
 
I really like the inexpensive Trailtech woods bars, very nice bend and height. But then again bars are a hugely personal choice.

I am starting to like 12 degree top bend. Many bar makers list their bars in mm of pullback, which doesn't tell me the angle. Obviously more pull back=more angle, but it isn't definative. Does Trailtech list the actual bend angle?
