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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I have an 09 300, and am looking to replace the front cable. I was hoping to get a Galfer stainless or something along those lines. Im having a hard time finding one. Anyone know what other bikes these brakes cross over on? Or a source for a good strong front brake cable?
 
Judging that Husky's run a full brembo setup, then the majority of husky 4t's and KTM's hoses will work but the only concern is length.

Whats wrong with the standard front brake hose, it's already braided isn't it? If you want more stopping power then go down the route of an oversize rotor kit or a better master cylinder?
 
My outer casing has cracked in 3 or 4 different spots and was just wanting to try something new. I have a real poor feel at the brake lever, not with squeeze, but with the return of the lever. It doesn't bounce back like it should. I have bled the brakes a few times, with no difference. So I was going to try a new cable, and see if that helps any. Then I will probably have to dig into the master cylinder and see. But wanted to start with the simpler, less expensive options.
 
If you have a 'kink' in the line this will often result in a poor return of the lever. When you pull the lever the force of fluid is sufficient to push down the hose and operate the caliper. When you release the lever it is difficult for fluid to return past the kink. I have had this to the extent that the brake starts to bind on as the kink works like a oneway valve.
 
just measure the length and you should be fine to fit whatever.i put a kx 250 unit on my 360 that ran underneath the fork tube after my rotor wore through the brembo unit.
