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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I broke my clutch lever....even with Husqvarna Hand guards in place...

I dropped my bike doing a low speed turn last night. Nothing tragic. Just *whump* came down on her left side. No damage to the bike other than the clutch lever that snapped in half.

I'm wondering if the Husqvarna-provided hand guard was supposed to prevent that -- or if it's merely for keeping my hands safe from tree limbs and wind, etc. Does Touratech or someone else make a hand guard that also protects the clutch and brake levers in the event of a tip-over?

Also wondering if ordering a new clutch lever through the dealer is the best way to go. Or do I order direct from Husqvarna.

Thoughts? Thanks.
 
You could check to see if Arc levers makes a lever for the TR, you won't break those.
 
Same as the BMW G650GS, I believe the G650X Challenge. Ordering those will prove to be a lot quicker and you will probably find aftermarket as well. If the hand guards you have are not like bark busters, closed end so to speak, nothing will save the levers.

X2 and The Cycra Pro Bend protectors swoop down and protect the levers - and are really comfortable for guys with big hands...or winter gloves.
