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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Husky – FS 450

Nice to see we got the SMR. Can't wait to see if these pop up on usa pro Supermoto next year. Reveille, just order some warp 9's and tell us how awesome your 501 is :). From what I remember these really are purpose built with a shorter swing arm and different offset triples
 
Is this clutch anything new or have these devices been around?

The APTC slipper clutch by Adler prevents rear wheel instability and hopping when braking hard into the apex of a turn, for maximum control and perfect supermoto-style drifting. The Brembo hydraulic system guarantees perfect clutch modulation.
 
Not sure when they started putting them in SMR's but it has one too. They've been around for awhile but are about a grand if I remember right buying aftermarket. This was a big deal with sport bikes awhile ago to. It prevents wheel chatter while downshifting for a turn. It's like you rekluse, it controls clutch slipping.
 
I'm sure someone else can give a more technical reply :). I'm really not even sure if I ever had a sportbike with it.
