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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Supermoto handguards? 08 510smr

Just picked up an 08 sm510r....I can't believe I can ride this bike legally on the street! I'm getting it set up for the track and was looking for info on handguards. I'm diggin' the acerbis guards, but they say that on the 08 Huskys you have to shorten the levers, and drill the bars? Any input on the Cycra ones as well would be appreciated. Thoughts on fit, finish, and ease of installation. Also, who the heck makes the stock bars on the 08 Husky's anyway?
 
I believe the stock bars are Tomeselli. Personally I'm a big fan of HDB handguards. They'll protect your hands, levers and switches and the flipout mirrors actually work. Look around the site and and you'll find a few write ups on them.
 
I've been a fan of the Cycra's for a long time. I used G2 threaded inserts this time around in the Flexxbars my TXC which I feel is a big improvement over the wedge anchors. I swapped out the stock 7/8" risers/bar clamps on my '06 510 for Renthal ones, which then enabled me to use Fatbars and Bonz mounts top clamps. VERY solid way to go.

I always chop the levers on my bikes anyway, so.....
