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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

new husky SM610 owner question.

Hello All,

I am new to SM and got my first such bike recently.

I have a SM610, and am thinking about getting 18/21 wheels and a smaller front brake setup so that I can take it to trails as well.

Have anyone done similar setup?
What all items are required, and where to get them?

ANy help/information is appreciated.

Welcome to CafeHusky, pvrajan :cheers:

You might get a better response over in the 610/630 forum so I'll move it over there for you :) There has been quite a bit of discussion about it over there.

We have done it a couple of times ,it works great,we put a wide dual sport tire on the 17 rim works fine and run 21 up front.It takes about a grand to do it with new parts,but since we own a large mc salvage we have all the stuff used now and then.Wheels sell fast.Need frt wheel,2 TE610 spacers,small caliper,use stk hose and m/cyl.billf www.billshusky.com
 
:thinking:
Or if you’re on a budget you can go the WoodsChick’s route using your existing 17” rims

That’s her SM610 in the pic just so you can see how it looks

:thumbsup:
 
Thanks for the feedbacks.

I have few more questions:

@doormandan: what is the pipe thingie under the exhaust header?


@billf, small caliper from which bike? is that a direct fit? (may after removing the spacer for the brembo caliper on the SM?)
also which rotor?

Is there writeup on woodschick's bike setup? I am getting inspired after seeing the pic:)

by the way, things are not THAT simple for me to talk to any of you guys and get items, as I am in India which is a long way off from USA.
