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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Converting an SM610 into a TE610 permenently?

I know this has been asked before, in fact I posted in the thread. But this thread is coming from a different angle, my conversion would be permanent, not just a quick wheel swap. Then I would just swap the SM wheels onto my newly made TE, but the bike would always be off road ready.

It seems that no new shape TE610s were sold in England but a few SM610s were, so selling my SM610 and buying a TE610 isn't an option.

There are a couple of 510s on eBay but they aren't as reliable as the 610s are they?

What would I need to convert it? Triple clamps, forks, bars, caliper, disc, then what? Also would the wheels from my '01 fit with the more modern TE forks I would put on there?

I read something about the swingarm being shorter but it is the same swingarm as on my '01 and I rode that off road with no problems.

If I could get it into a TE I would keep it but there are no parts on eBay and Husky Sport would want £££ for the necessary parts I'd imagine.
