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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Where's a good place to buy replacement rotors for a 08 TE 510? I've been looking and there isn't much out there. I was wanting to replace my stock rotors with some wave rotors.

My '14 310 has "Braking" wave rotors (Italian brand, IIRC) stock, I'm pretty sure. same hubs as your 510?? (btw, they're the best brakes I've ever had on a dirt bike).
 
I bought an EBC rotor for my 07 TE450, but the magnet position is off by 7mm on it, because of the way the company chose to make the cuts. I ended up just having a magnet from a Trailtech kit sit in a corner cut on the rotor to line up with the pick up. SO far the magnet has not gotten moved or knocked out.
 
I'm going to buy some from Mike. My stock rotors and pads have gone 2600 miles. I recently bent my front rotor when my 510 decided to go for an unscheduled flight without me. I was able to straighten the front rotor with a crescent wrench, but it's not perfect. I sent my bike flying 15' into the air and all I had damaged was the rotor, left front radiator shroud and bent my handlebar mounting bolts. I was very shocked with the minimal amount of damage that occurred. Love my Husky. She went the rest of the day beautifully. Thank you for all the replies. This is what makes cafe husky such a great place.

There is a slight difference on magnet locations on the Kayaba fork Huskies around 2008 and the the earlier Mazzochi fork bikes.
As you note the rotors fit both but the magnets can be off a bit.

BTW, I have a few extra front rotors that fit both but the there are no magnet holes in them.
