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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Steering damping 'other way' - PHDS

Just sent the US dealer an email inquiring on price and any other details on the system he can offer. I still wish Scotts would have made a unit for these bikes :mad:
 
I have sold many steering dampers to KTM guys running those (they were asking if it all worked together) and they seem to really like them.

I would assume that NO large producer would even consider making products for this bike as its practically dead (market too small and other opportunities). That includes dampeners, exhausts etc. No dreams of LeoVince/Scotts for Terra IMHO... No dampener for this bike UNLESS some smaller workshop prepares dedicated mount.

Having said that, mind you that PHDS is not steering dampener 'per se'. Its rather handlebar dampener - AFAIK it deals primarily with engine/clutch vibrations mostly, not shimmy (eg. due to knobbly tyres used on pavement). Therefore PHDS is so much successful for KTMs with significant vibes, TOGETHER with true steering dampener (eg. Scotts) - as Kelly rightfully pointed out.

As Terra is low on vibes, PHDS effects might be limited. Although I would not rule that out completely, I would be ready to give it a go and check results.
 
This may not be a steering damper per se--EDIT: I should have read the post above before writing this:) Sorry.

Below is a quote from the US distributor:

We are the US importer for Xtrig and we have the PHDS system in stock

The Xtrig PHDS system is not a steering dampener system but rather a vibration and shock dampening system for handle bar mounts.

I would need to see a picture of the triple clamps on your bike to be able to say whether or not the Xtrig PHDS system will work with them.

You can call me if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Rick Green
 
Make sure they are flat on the bottom and have a M10 bolt hole and they should work fine. Might have to monkey with the bar bolts.
