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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

CR 50 Big Wheel

Just thought we would share a picture of our large wheel CR 50 with everyone. We have fitted 14/12 talon wheels and had the standard swingarm lengthened by 35mm. We have also replaced std bars with pro-taper and fitted custom graphics. Just waiting for someone to make a nice exhaust for them now.

Thats sick!! what size of wheels were on it before? Are those 14/12 on it now?
 
That is sick. Those things are the baddest looking little minis anyway, and this is the baddest of them all.:notworthy:
 
Std wheels are 12/10, we built this bike to display at the UK dirt bike show at the moment 95% of the uk auto market is KTM, with most owners spending over £3500.
Husqvarna are hoping to capture a slice of this market in the UK.
 
the cr50 was designed to take them 14/12" wheels, too (with some compromises in maximum wheel deflection). so it should have worked even without making the swingarm longer (which of course is a good idea anyway).

edit: i love that bike.

we tried the wheels in the bike before we altered the swingarm but there was almost no adjustment for the chain and looked very odd.
 
i knew about the 12" rear wheel to be allowed in british mx races, but if i am informed correctly, the 14" front is too large to compete in 50cc racing, right?

No, the current rules in the UK are for 14'' front and 12'' rear.
