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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

125-200cc 125 frame swap

Continuing with my 99 WR 125 build I have now been able to ride the bike a few times and I'm happy with the motor. Carrying the front wheel out of an uphill corner on my GP track today convinced me! I've been hesitant to throw money at this bike due to never having ridden one so I took some shortcuts. I have found that my fix for the linkage mount on the frame didn't work (ok ya I didn't think JB weld would work either!). The mount is ovaled, allowing free play in the suspension. A 1/8th inch gap at the mount makes for a couple inches of slop at the end of the swingarm. It would be very difficult to weld and at this point I want to do a nice build so I'd like to get a good used frame. I have already converted to the '04 bodywork so I assume the '04 frame would work but I don't want to take that risk.
So what year frames will swap with the '99??
Thanks,
Jason
 
I found a '99 CR frame on a popular auction site for $60 with free shipping so I jumped on it. :)
Maybe I'll get it powdercoated and do a build to make you guys proud!
