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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Installing HDB Handguards

Quick question. Can someone post a close up of the bar end grip before/after the install of HDB handguards to show how much of it you cut off? I guess I'm wondering cuz the end of the grip sort of looks like a cap and it seems like it might come off? Or did you guys just take a knife to the very tip of the grip?

Thanks,

Alex
 
The stock Husky grips? The end piece is about 1/8" thick beyond the end of the bar, and it's part of the grip. You'll have to take a razor knife to it.
 
Thx. Do you cut it flush with the actual bar end? Or do you have to remove a little extra?
 
You want to make sure on the throttle side to get enough off so there is no overhang. Then move the throttle in slightly so it does not rub on the guard. Basically you want to make sure everything is clear enough to not make the throttle hang up or have resistance.
