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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
You may not have them installed correctly DanD- It took a lot of fiddling to get my bars to find the sweet spot where they seem to fall into place and both sides sit the same.
Dang I dont know how you guys aren't having knee contact on the altriders. I guess some of us ride way more forward because my legs are a good 3 to 4 inches over the bars when I ride where I normally would. Replacing them with the Happy Trails this weekend.
I am currently considering the SW Motech crash bars which are almost $200 cheaper here in Oz than the Altriders. However, I will have to alter my B&B bashplate to make it fit with the SW bars. I see that TassieRob (pg 16 of this thread) made the necessary modifications but I was keen to see some photos of the final fit.
I don’t think TassieRob is still on this site; has anyone else got this combination of bars and bashplates to play nicely together? To obtain a clean and straight cut on the bashplate (aluminium) is an angle grinder the way to go?

Altrider bars turned up today. Will be fitting them on the weekend. It came with two of the frame locating brackets. Doesn't it only need one?
