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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Dunno if anyone's ever tried them but I thought I'd give them a crack as I needed new discs & they're an Aussie mob. Spoke to them in November as they were out of stock for 125(250/310 4T's) rears & they were just waiting to do another run. They called back mid December saying they were all in stock. All 4 discs delivered for around AU$360 from memory! Just mounted rear up on 125 so will give it a crack over weekend hopefully & see how they fare!

Pretty much a copy of OEM Braking discs for fronts so look good! Speedo magnet hole & all. Rears slightly different but better looking thàn stock IMHO. Rear for 300 is fixed not a floater(what I wanted!)image.jpg image.jpg
 
Well did 160km of single track on Sunday & pleased to report rear disc was great. Good feel & power(after few minutes of bedding in). No gouging, bluing or wear(a lot of rear brake sliding into switchbacks & downhills).

Will put front one on this week & see how that fares as my oem disc(175ish hours on 125) is like a bit of alfoil thickness wise!
 
Put the front disc on the other night before a ride along with new pads & Belray super dot 4 fluid. Also greased caliper pins.

Brakes work fantastically, just like new again. Ya sort of forget how much performance you lose gradually after a while. The old front disc was that skinny you could easily warp/twist it by hand. Probably only 2mm thickness left at a guess! Like alfoil
