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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Has anyone had luck straightning bent bars.
I'm running Moose bars thats been cut for woods and jacked them pretty good.
Is it worth the effort or should I start shopping?

Start shopping mate. Aluminium bars shouldn't be straightened once bent. Aluminium work hardens which means each time you bend it, it becomes more brittle. I also assume the majority of the bend has occurred at the bar clamp which could have weakened the bars in that spot (stress raiser). The price you could pay if they snap, especially if your riding at the time, is far higher than the price of replacing them now.
Hope you find this reply helpful.
 
I had no luck with straightening out my old bars took them off the bike clamped in a vice scaffold bar and started with heat ended up with a weird joggle in them.
Try it youve nothing too loose.
Im running cut down renthals no cross brace. 4" removed as i dislike bars wider than my shoulders.
 
I would toss them on the scrap pile if they were mine!! Alloys dont like being bent and twisted around, What if they end up with a stress fracture?? I have seen a set of bars that snapped and the outcome was not a pretty sight, Young guy ended up with a very large titainium plate and a lot of screws in his shoulder.
