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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Anyone know if factory acc. hand guards retain the bar end weights?
Just want them for looks and some wind protection.
Call me weird if you like, but when ever possable I like to use OEM stuff.
 
From what I remember they do. I like them even if they are a little over priced.
 
Yes, the bar end weights are retained. Here are a couple of photos from my bike so you can see what's what with the factory hand guards.
My dealer fitted these for me, but I do recall that when he pulled the box off his shelf, it was marked with a BMW part number. I believe that these are the same part that BMW have for the G650GS. It might be worth comparing prices because one might be cheaper than the other for the same item.

Here's one On Ebay. I believe it is identical. http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-Genuine...rtao-/371040741984?fits=Make:BMW|Model:G650GS

You may want to try the hand guards made by Barkbuster specifically for our bikes. Those are what I have and they come with new bar end weights. The guards are extremely solid. I've been down a few times and they held up great.
