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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

125-200cc Replacement Wheel Spacer Material?

Looking for some advice on this.....

Going to have some replacement wheel spacers made for my 04 CR125, just wondering what the best material would be to use?
Should I stick with aluminium, if so any suggestions on what grade to use?

or

Would it better to go with stainless? Obviously heavier but the seal wouldn't wear grooves into it like the original alu ones, but I guess the seals would wear rather than the spacer?

Any thoughts?

Also attached drawing, may help someone else:rolleyes:

I'd go stainless TBH, wow so it may weigh a few more grams than aluminum but, as you stated, it will last longer!!
 
I machined new ones out of 6061 T6 aluminum, but I have time, and material, so I can make them again if they wear. If the weight is not an issue, SS is the way to go
 
Weight difference will probably not have much of a huge effect on unsprung weight. Personally when I have to machine spacers up I usually head to my local engineering supply & see what offcuts he has!
:D
Either material would work well!
