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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hi, a while back there was a post about lowering the foot pegs by cutting the lug and re possitioning it, LarsJansen did this, does anyone know what type of welding to use on the standard footpegs?
 
I just cut the spacer side of the peg off and repositioned the peg with the spacer in front. Swap the spring retention from side to side and there you go!! I used the cut off spacer as a sleeve, which isn't welded back to the other part of the peg, just acts to keep the peg from sliding on the pin.


Love the "low boy"
 
have to ask why would you do this ,would severely effect resale vale not to mention potetial damage to frame. Are your legs reallly long
 
Peg lowering

I have done this on almost every Husky since 1999 I ever owned{@20),anyhow its easy and makes shifting lot easier without jacking the shifter up a notch too high,also have long legs less transition from sitting to standing.Never had any problems from it.billf
 
I hacksawed mine and had them re-welded. Maybe BillF or someone will reveal what sort of welding material works best. I should have had George do it but it still cost me $25 or so to get it done and the guy had to sort of guess what to use .... but it worked.
 
Any Low Carbon rod is fine.
As far as Rusty Nuts comment this does not have anything to do with the frame only the foot pegs.
Tall guys have big feet sizes like 11-12-13 just can not get under the shift lever if they reposition the shift lever up to get foot clearence then shifting becomes an issue because you are lifting back on the shifter and not up, also stretches the riding position out and not so cramped.
Other than a tall seat this also makes the transition from setting to standing much easier.
Later George
 
am familiar with the prob with the shifter what about increasing length of shifter my dealer offers one to every one who buys from him
