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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Warp did indeed make the wheels for me.. the front sprocket is still a 13.. rear is a 44 now.. not sure of top speed have to GPS it.. anyone have a recommendation on how to get the speedo magnet into a new rotor?
 
If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, I'm feeling pretty flattered right now!
Bike looks awesome dude!
What did you end up doing with the rear hub? Original or did you find a 151mm aftermarket one?
As Clete said, epoxy will do a grand job of holding the magnet to the disc, just remember if you keep the OEM speedo, the small wheel will change the reading by about 15%
You'll be able to get a 15T front sprocket in there, I just had to trim that grey rubber thing that wraps around the swingarm to make it fit. See how you go with gearing, but these things love being geared right up on the black top.
Oh, and a general SM tip; H-rated tyres like GP12 alphas or BT003's will work a lot better that tyres rated for bigger bike (plus they're cheaper!)
 
Nice thanks for the info.. you were definitely the OG white rim and red hub guy that made me have to have them :D I didn't do a thing with the hub.. I just talked to Kevin over at Warp9 and he hooked it up.. It definitely needs a bigger front sprocket I think.. didn't feel much different top end wise than with my 48t and dirt tire.. But i'm heading into manhattan today to give it a test run so we'll see :] Thanks for the tip about the tires too.. warp 9 just recommended the Michelin Pilots so I took their word for it..

Very nice! I ran 15/38 gearing on my 300 with supermoto wheels and saw 172 km on the speedo, but you have to take 15% off for the smaller diameter compared to the stock Endurowheels. I could probably push it a little bit more, but it started to get unstable as i had the standard front fender:=).
