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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2003 TE 610 swing arm swap

I have a 2003 TE610E and wanted to know of anyone has swaped out the rear swing arm for a 2008 610 rear arm. I purchased a set of Baer supermoto wheels front and rear off a guy that had a 2008 610. He said they would fit my year and that was not true. The axles are a different size front and back. I made custom adapter spacers for the front wheel and modified the caliper bracket to fit the big supermoto rotor. The rear is more involved as the 2003 swing arm seems a bit to narrow to fit a big street tire/rim. I will have to make spacers but will also need to cut the caliper mount and adapt it to the top side of the swing arm to clear the big rear tire. I will also have to space the rear sprocket out to clear the tire sidewall. My question is instead of reinventing the wheel is it possible to swap a 2003 swingarm for a 2008 and just bolt on my wheel and caliper set up? Any advise is really appretiated!
