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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Going Super Moto W/a Te449

I have a new 2011 te449, have put around 75 miles on it so far. I bought this to be a dirt bike, but after riding it on the street I'm thinking of just making it a street bike and sticking with my KTM on the dirt. Has anyone here gone SM with a 449? I'm just wondering where to get the parts, for the least amount of money. I'd prefer to get all the stuff from one place. Thanks guys.
 
I bought a warp 9 kit and am very happy with quality! The got a bad reputation when they first started but there newer stuff is great and there prices can't be matched. There kit comes with rotors and sprocket as well as the caliper spacer. The stock brake is plenty strong for street use. Pm me if you would like pricing I can go cheaper than most in parts and could so a great package deal with tires and tubes mounted and sent to your door. The picture with the wheels on the bike has the stock front rotor on.

thanks, that would be great. I'm also interested in going bigger on the front brake at some point. I'd like to try the bike on the track, maybe enter a race or two. Are those rims good enough to race with?
 
I live by miller motor sports. We have several guys running them on there tall only bikes. I would buy these over excels any day. Not only for price but quality is great and they are ever only company I know of that had a warranty. There warranty is 60 dollars for any repair. The over sized rotor is good quality but if you are a competitive race you well want to upgrade your full brake system. Expect to pay about 1500 for that.
Btw I plan on doing track days and a couple races on my stock brakes worth the warp 9 over sized rotor.
 
What's making you want to street the bike and not trail ride it? I had a KTM Duke 2 for a while but decided we would both be better off parting ways before I lost my liscense again! Supermoto Wicked addictive fun!

Honestly the bike feels fairly heavy to me, not sure I will enjoy riding it in the tight rocky terrain I ride.
I had a blast riding it on the street.
