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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

both the sw mototech and the altrider bars do not seem to be in stock yet. Does anyone have an ETA, or already got theirs?

Erik at Altrider said they will be in-hand and shipping 6-11. Mine are on will call since I work nearby. I can't wait to pick them up and get them mounted!
 
My SW-MOTECH order (placed 5/8) shipped today. They will get here just in time for me to leave town for a week, but will be one of the first things I do when I get back on the 16th.

Those prices are from twistedthrottle.com, and are the same as their website. Is that where you are looking, or at sw-motech directly? Hard to say what you'd find there, and shipping would be $$$ to California.

OOPS**************************************** My mistake. I was thinking those were prices for AltRider bars and plate. Sorry.
 
On 6/3, in an email, Twisted Throttle said my SW-Moteck crash guards were shipped! Ordered on 4/16.
Lucky, no need for them so far.
 
From Altrider just now....

Hello Kevin,

Thank you for your interest in AltRider. Unfortunately, due to an unexpected delay the bars have been pushed back by approximately 3 weeks. They should begin shipping by June 28th.
Please let me know if I can help with anything else.

:(

Son of a %*$@#**************************************** :banghead:
 
Now I'm getting mad:mad:. What is this the 3rd delay. What kind of business are they running. Take them off the sponsor list. Why should we help them get orders if they can't fill orders on time.
 
Yeah, now I'm just pissed. I totally get a delay or two, but this projected ship date would put it exactly 90 days after I ordered. That's a bit much. I know guys who waited less time for the water cooled GS.
 
Jeeze Luoise, that is retarded. How many of you want Crash Bars? I'll friggin setup a jig and make 10 sets. It's all about the numbers. It will take me a set amount of time to design and fit one set, a bit of time to set up a jig to assemble quantity. If I farm out the bending, I can get the costs down with quantity. If I batch powder coat, I can get the cost down.

What is a fair price point?

These would be made out of steel. I could make a good bash plate also, out of good ole steel.

I have been trying to justify the purchase of the new welding cutting tools. Plasma, tig, I already have the mig etc.
