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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

All 2st Rear Brake Cleat - Larger?

As most of us know, the rear brake cleat is small and tucked in close to the frame. That bad combo can make for a few heart stopping moments when you need rear brake ASAP... Anyway, I really don't want to heat or bend the brake lever/arm. I'm sure someone makes a larger cleat that will stick out an extra 3/8". Does anyone have some experience with this issue?
 
I did some web searching and it sure looks like the cleat off a 2005 YZ250 will work. The design is the same based on how it attaches to the lever. It may need some garage mods to work. Not sure it will stick out any further. I'll call the Zip Ty guys on Monday for their opinion.
