• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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/TC Handguard recommendations?

Finally got my handguards in from husky power parts. Gotem on and put a good hard ride in tight woods to test em out. So far so good. Fit is great and they're quite large so tons of protection. I also think they look sharp as they closely resemble the stock guards.

I have acerbis on all my dirt bikes and Zeta on my supermoto. The acerbis have been very good, the Zeta are very nice but untested so far. Cam.
 
I stay away from cycra's had two identical bikes same bars. One with cycras one with enduro engineering. Ran them both on the same trails and with the cycra's I hit more trees big time....took them off and gave them away...bought another pair of enduro engineering. Just be sure to get the right kit. My 15 tc is cut down to 29,inches and these enduro engineering work perfect!!
 
The Acerbis look nice, but they break easy. Due to there design they break right below where it says "acerbic", it's like the lower portion of the handguards just breaks right off after a few hits or crashes. I learned this from another gentleman that I meat in South Carolina at HRD motorsports, and he had them on his Huskys.

Well, yes... I'm familiar with most of those and have installed a wide variety of brands, often with a lot of cussing over having to overbend, cut off, drill, and otherwise warp the things to fit, including threading the inside of the bars. What I'm after is someone who might know of a clean, unburdensome installation on the husky-ktm bar shape, thanks. ;)

I know exactly what you're talking about regarding the bending and prying. Everyone tells me they're guards just snapped on. Mine always requires some monkeying.

I think it's because you and I have our levers low.

Here is your solution. I did a lot of research with the tape measure. Bought these and they actually cleared the levers (miracle).

They have an extra piece on the inside attachment that makes them longer than standard aluminum. This piece is just long enough to clear the leaver on my 2015 TE 300.

Good luck.
