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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Motosportz Damper Height increase???

What bike do you have?

My '07 TE 250 actually had the bars lowered by about 3/4" because you lose the stock bar risers in the conversion.
 
Yeah, depends on the mounting and bike. Usually about a half inch or so for underbar applications. Can also go with our very low profile over bar and not raise them at all if that is the goal.
 
Got a 2008 SM510. I want to get the bars higher (thinking at least 1" higher, maybe more) so trying to determine if I get damper, what riser combo I may or may not need to do so.
 
I'm 6'2, and was unable to stand and ride with the stock configuration (2009 txc450). I added the motosportz damper, and kept the bar spacers (even though instructions said to replace them with the damper). The height just about perfect. I can stand comfortably while riding. Another 1/4" would probably be spot on, but it's more than acceptable as it is.
 
I'm 6'2" and it raised my 08 TE250 slightly and can stand very comfortably. I followed the instructions and did remove the stock spacers.
 
I also added teh damper and it make the bars higher and much easier to ride standing up. I like it.

the only bad thing is that the aftermarket gas tank wont fit with the dampener.
