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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

So I thought a 2008 TE610 would have 50MM forks?

Just like the title states. Bought a set of 610 forks from a 2009 (error in the title) thinking they are 50mm jobbies. No such luck. They are identical in every measurement to the 45mm ones I was thinking of replacing. Strange. They have the black anodizing and all that...but are 45's. Factory part number is 8000B0866 as labeled on both fork legs.

Maybe the dood didn't know what he was selling? Perhaps these are off of something else? Perhaps its my fault for not making him measure. Eh, ce la vie. List em' back on ebay...
 
The 610/630 forks turned black in 08 (i have some on my 07) but still 45s and sadly still no compression adjusters.:(
 
gotcha. Well thank you for the insight. I'll just re-list these then. I was looking for a set of 50mm jobbies as upgrades. :) My fault for not doing more homework. Strange the heaviest of the off roaders would still have the smallest forks. Wonder what their reasoning was for that?

You should also be aware that the front brake caliper mounting bolts are spaced differently on the 45 & 50mm forks.
