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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I have a 2001 CR-125 that I want to make into a 144. I am looking for an extra cylinder so I can have both a stock and 144 cylinder on hand. Do any of you have an extra for sale or know of someone who does?

Thanks for your replies.

If you buy the Husky 144 kit, you get a new cylinder, powervalves, piston, ring and gaskets--you get to keep all of your old stuff as a backup.

Good point as you would also need a spare head and PV's.
 
I checked with Hall's no extras laying around. I also looked into the Husky kit but it is $850.00 and Raymond was not certain if it would fit or in the best case I would need new PV bushings.

Since the bike is older I am loking at a Gorr overbore or simular set up. If I can find a decent cylinder I will keep mine as a 125 and send the other out.

I just picked up a 135 FBF head for a good price from the classified section - pistons are cheap too
These can be bored out to 144 but need to get valves ground back - refer Walts posts
There was also an unsused 125 '09 head a month or two back may still be available
 
Rockdancer,

It looks like you beat me to the punch on the FBF cylinder. I will just have to continue my quest.

The FBF 135 cyilinder Ive just got is actually a FBF 125 ! -- measures 54mm - bugger
so I may not keep it . I did ask for a measurement but the head does say FBF and R135
Let me know if you want it
Ive also got a piston/ring on the way for a 135! so it has been a bad day ...
135 would have done me
(I may go the EG to a 144 route as well)
for me to get the over bore done in oz its $550 + $100 head mod + $80 valve mod + piston cost $100 + gaskets $50 .... so EG is a good deal as is the OEM kit
 
I may have a spare cylinder...don't know about the head.

Let me know if interested.

I think I can use that 135 piston.

PM me.
