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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

ODI Lock-On grips for TE630

AA Class
After looking at KTM throttle housings and the TE630's I decided they were close enough to give my favorite grips a try. For those not familar these grips are glueless and open ended so no cutting required for barkbusters. If you don't use barkbusters they come with end plugs also. Rubber grips are factory vulcanized onto housing and secure with allen set screws on left side and complete throttle tube on the right. They never slip or twist and hold up very well, have used on my KTM for a couple years now. These are basic waffle type MX grips, only style they currently come in to fit our bike.

$20 at Rocky Mountain ATV, application is for KTM 4 stroke.

Grips fit with only one minor modification. One edge of throttle cam needs to be slightly filed down to prevent binding. I used a small file, took plastic down maybe thousands of an inch only. Really more of a de-burring. You will need to reposition bar controls inward some.

Notice aluminum clamp on outside edge, inside edge of grip has similar clamp.

Throttle tube with vulcanized grip installs same as stock.

Also I noticed throttle side now has slightly more gap but I don't have any issue with that. Actually stock has a pretty big gap also but these definitely add to that some.

Ever need to replace your grips or remove them to change bars or other work. Now it is two set screws and two 8mm bolts to open throttle housing. No fuss no mess. if you can live with the waffle style these are the grips to get.
