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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc Kick stand replacement.

Lost mine, very expensive to replace with OEM. Longer bolt with nylon nut on the extra threads sticking out the back should never fall off again.
 
Has anyone bought an after market stand? I picked up a 2012 WR300 with no kick stand on it. OEM is usually pricey so looking for a good aftermarket recomendation if you have on.
 
I lost my kickstand spring. I hold up the stand with a KTM rubber thingy now, although I installed it poorly and have been using zip ties to make sure the stand doesn't fall. Maybe I'll just ditch the stand entirely.
 
Anyone know where to get a husqvarna te449/511 style frame tab for the kickstand??

I have a stock TE kickstand I would like to install on my 2000 cr125. I need the tab and bolt tho.
 
Any ideas for a replacement stand ?
Mine was bent to far forward and now its been bent / snapped and modified to straight its not going up past the swing arm :o
 
Sometimes (and over time), the metal frame tag gets bent out as well...bit of heat and the knockometer does the trick.
 
It snapped trying to heat and bend back to original shape .
They rewelded it but the angles are wrong now in the other direction -
I can possibly get it reshaped but the guy doesn't think its going to work
I was wondering about alternatives
 
its ok I ll get him to have another crack or take it to someone else
I wouldn't mind a pic or pics of what the angle of the join near the bolt is supposed to be
 
I too have been looking for a kickstand. OEM or otherwise. My '14 WR300 didn't have the kickstand on it. The dealer had no idea where it was or what happened to it. I use trees, triangle stands and bike stands, but a kickstand is nice to have.

I've looked for aftermarket sources, but, not found anything. Even posted a "wanted" add in the classifieds here. No luck.

look a bit cheap and not a great design but may be ok
