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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2011 husqvarna Te449 motard

Hi I'm looking Iooking at converting my te449 to motard.
I picked up a set of rims and tyres for a real good price to say no and went to see if front wheel would fit but original axle just to big to fit into motard bearings.
Has anyone done this before and how did you do it as I'm not sure in what bearings to get and what to order.

Measure the outside diameter and width of the wheel bearings installed in your wheels. Then measure the axle shaft, that is the inside diameter of the bearings you need. When I installed new wheels I ended with a non-standard bearing which I found by googling it. In my case it was a 40 mm x 20 mm x 12 mm bearing, outside dia x iinside dia x width. When searching try id x od x width, seems to bring better results.
