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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Ricochet skid plat and SW Motech crash bars

I currently have a Ricochet skid plate on my Terra and my crash bars have just arrived. It doesn't look like they will fit unless I cut up the skid plate. Does anybody else have this combo?

I had to put a little notch on the ricochet to make clearance for the left side crash bar.
 
I have the ricochet plate and just bought the Altrider bars, they fit without any modification just an fyi
 
I just bent the edge down, as shown in pics.

I've got the same Ricochet skid plate/SW Mo-tech crash bar setup on mine... I cut the top edge of the plate to allow clearance. Looks like bending the edge works too!
 
I installed everything this weekend. My dremel with cutoff wheel cut through that skid plate surprisingly well. Hopefully I'll never use the crash bars, but its good piece of mind knowing that they're there.
