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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

CBR250 Wheels on a WR250 'tard?!?!?

Hi folks,

Has anyone seen, heard of oe experienced fitting up a set of CBR250 cast wheels to a 2 stroke??

I think it will look sweet, but only if I can get them to fit!!!

I'd rather not buy them and find its a waste of money - cheaper to ask the question.

They will be strictly for a road/track set up - no jumping.

Thanks in advance.
 
I had to ggl for pictures. The wheels do look sort of cool. On the other hand, that might be because they were next to one of the most absurd looking exhaust systems I've ever seen. When will the OEM exhaust designers get a clue? People are willing to pay big money for trick looking after-market slip-on cans that look like race-bike parts. Why is it that the same guys that can make brake rotors and calipers that border on art can't make an exhaust that doesn't look like a charred banana slug?

WRT grafting these onto another bike? I'm sure it could be done, but unless you have a friend with a machine shop and lots of time, patience and a high tolerance for frustration I would find another project. Getting the parts that are "supposed" to work together is challenging.

On the third hand, I think a modern 2-smoker SM would be fun cubed. I live in CA, so it's just a dream here. At leas until the direct injection bikes become a reality.
 
Keep in mind that the wheel spacers for a 4-stroke might not be right on a 2-stroke, the hubs are a slightly different width. The same is true for the disc adapters. Shouldn't be a problem to work around, but whatever dimensions those guys provide may not be what you need.
