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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

My challenge is I am trying to install some Domino Dakar open ended grips. Love the feel of the grips, and the left is on good and solid with just a little rubbing alcohol to slide it on. I can't get the right to grip on the aluminum G2 throttle tube for some reason. I might just have to go back to the OEM dual compound grips. If so, anybody have any tricks for a cutting out the ends without them looking like crap?

I use air it gently lifts the grip free and put it any where you want, use alcohol to clean first
 
use alcohol to clean the bars gently apply air and they don't move until I use air to remove
they wear out before they move, have taken them off and moved them to new bars same way

I kinda like the Goop and mineral spirits solution I stumbled upon, but to each his (or her) own.
 
No adhesive so to speak, a quick spray of contact cleaner into the grips then slide 'em on. Lockwire to finish and to stop 'em spinning.
