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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Can someone help confirm that the hose kit for 2006 SMR450 is the same as TE, TC 450 and 510?

Going to pull the trigger on a new silicon set from ebay but non of the sales appear to mention the SMR model specifically although the six piece kit does look like it would fit


Thanks
 
The TC moto version will be the most stripped down package,
there may be extra cut out section pieces for road going gear (thermostat and fan thermos switch for example) on TE and SMR version kits.
Physically all those machines are the same, at the tube attach points.
Easiest thing is to get the TC version kit and if you have a thermostat or thermo switch you want to retain or use, you can cut it in yourself.
 
My other suggestion is to use the solid loop euro type hose clamps, because if you use the slotted open cut thread loop type the soft silicone hose outer tube material pushes and cuts through the open thread slots in the hose clamps.
