  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 wheel / brake identification help

Steve Hands

Can anyone help me identify the correct brake plate for this wheel please?
It was sold to me as a 1989 WR250 wheel. The sprocket has a 155mm centre hole and the bolt c ircle is 175mm. This corresponds to a JTR 510 sprocket which is in their catalogue as being for a 1989 WRK250. http://www.jtsprockets.com/catalogue/sprocket/JTR510

Several Huskys have very similar looking wheels but wiith differing brake plates. There are a few brake plates for sale on ebay, trouble is, they all have the shoes right up against the plate but my wheel has the brake drum band recessed in by 1" (25mm) from the edge of the hub. The brake drum is 5" (130mm) diameter.

Any advice, or a pic of what I should be looking for will be much appreciated.
