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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

5,5" back rim for SMR 511 -2011

Has anyone assembled 5,5" back rim to SMR? Would it fit in back fork? Do I have to move the chainline? If have to move chainline, how should I do it in SMR?
 
You wont see any gains. Might look cool, but there will be a ton of other limiting factors that would need to be addressed.

I would go 16.5 front before 5.5 rear.
 
I run a 5.5 on my race bike, but it came like that from factory:)
To tell you the truth you better of with a 5 rear because way more tire choices.

Can you send some pictures of your front and rear sprockets? In this thread. So I can check if it's different from my SMR:)

What size tires fits in 5,5" ?
 


i run different gearing depending on the track right now i have 14 42 on there, and on a 5.5 you need to put 170 plus rear
 
He has a 511 not a 510. Its kind of not really the same animal at all.

My smr450 could have used a 170 on the kart track but honestly the 511 has so many other limitations that an extra bit of rear would not help. Probably even hurt by the added weight...
 
Any clearance issues with the chain when using the 5.5"? I wouldn't mind running a 170 rear on my SMR 511.
