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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

We all have our setup evolved from years of experiences (for me mostly evolved from failures and issues) This is the set up that works for me in my world.
 
Cool setup. I'm guessing brake fade is a non issue now? Is that a stock size rear rotor? It looks huge in the picture.
 
Nice setup. I have found the carbon pads are horrible in the wet though. Just food for though for us wet riders.

bike is looking real nice.
 
Few questions. Why would you extend the resevoir? Does it give more feel with the rear brake? Also, whats the purpose of a rear brake stop? What is the slavens caliper heat sink for?

Sorry, as I've mentioned before, I'm much more of a street rider. I'll check into the Slavens part on his website. I found his trail head blog a couple months ago and that guy's shop is about 10 minutes away (he really seems to like the orange bikes though for some reason lol).
 
DUDE that rocks! More then once Iv'e burnt inro a corner (I do not use my front brake at all!) and presto No brakes oh shi----! Ride a 150 Husky and since it weighs so much less you might not quite need that much of a bullet proof setup**************************************** But regardless I LIKE IT!

Does it give more feel with the rear brake? No change in feel at all, its just more fluid volume.

Also, whats the purpose of a rear brake stop? Bling all bling it's the same as oem snail type adjuster, it's just red anodized (my OEM one got more and more dented from brake pedal hits. (ZipTy also has a more stout version but requires some mod)

What is the slavens caliper heat sink for? To help dissipate heat from the rear caliper/fluid.

All these parts are there to prevent rear brake fade which has cost me in time loss and crashes in at least 2 races/rides, once very bad at the Tecate Hare Scrambles in an ugly downhill rocky river bed section with no rear brake it really sucked using only the gear down clutch braking and front brake. I vowed never again.
