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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hey guys I have what I think is a 96 WXE 266, correct me if I wrong. It needs a rear brake assembly and I cant find parts for this model anywhere. If anyone wants to look up the serial# on the forks for info id appreciate it. DGM 53254 OM 4A. Thanks.20150329_144654.jpg20150329_144904.jpg20150329_145005.jpg20150329_144722.jpg
 
I believe they were called 260s no? nice find, they were small open class bikes for FIM cc displacement rules, I believe. Serial number is the best way to ID frame and engine
 
That bike looks to me like a 1992. The upside down 45 showas are the first hint. The swing arm is the next one. The white fork guards were only used in 1992 as well. The non adjustable preload fork caps also point to 1992 since 93 & 94 had adjustable caps. The correct brakes for that bike would have been Nissins. The 1992-1994 huskys used Nissin brakes so any of those would work.

good eye that is a 92 chassis
square swingarm with the kick stand mounted to it
my 92 had the adjuster caps on the forks when i got it, not sure why, probably because they are handy
my guess is the cylinder was replaced with the 93 to 96 type by the casting number, the power valve was a little different, but,,,, i could be wrong and the casting moved forward, but it would seem odd as the exhaust is radically different
my bet is 93 to 96 cylinder

honeybadger, take a look at your exhaust and see if it goes over the manifold on the cylinder or into it
 
wxe just means a headlight and taillight basically. otherwise same bike..both have lighting capability..250 and 360 should have same chassis if you are looking for those brakes..
