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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Side stand question

I'm the happy owner of a '09 WR125. I want to lower the bike about an inch or perhaps slightly more. I have been in touch with a couple of shops that I'm sure can do a good job and once I can spare the coin and do without my bike for a bit, I'll likely go for it. My question is what to do about my side stand. I actually like the one I have, but it's already as long as it needs to be at the stock height and I'm concerned that it will become a problem with the bike is lowered. Could anyone who has been down this trail make some suggestions?
 
I've never lowered a bike but I do know the SMR side stands are a little shorter than the TE, WR, ect. The SMR with its lowered suspension and small wheels is probably close to 2 inches shorter than its dirt brothers.
 
Bottones/A.C.E. Suspension always included cutting down the side stand to proper height, for the bikes they have lowered for me.
 
or I'm sure a local welder can chop and put it back together for like 10-20 $ or a 12 pack if you don't have your own lil welder. Thats what iT cost em to ADD length to my 610 sidestand. Just chopping length is even easier and quicker..15 minutes of work probally for a "pro"
