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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I have a 2012 TE511 and put a set of motard Behr rims on it with a EBC 320 front rotor now i am having problems finding a front brake relocator for the stock caliper, well the right one....has anyone done a similar build with some insight? Thanks in advance.
 
I modeled my own custom bracket and had a machine shop make it. PM me if you hav einterest I could sell you my spare or possably have one made for you. No one makes them for a 100mm caliper bolt spacing which is the most popular. QTM make a 120mm bracket but 120mm caliper are usually crazy expensive and unneeded in a supermoto application.
 
That is for an axial mount, for true SM brakes you will want a much more powerful 100mm radial mount not the small stock brembo unit. Yes you will get more brake torque with the larger rotor and the same caliper but not much more power and it will fade right away form the heat.

I am having huge issues getting the ebc brake relocator I bought (over a month of back and forth with customer service) what is a good cheap caliper set up I can buy, also how hard is setting up a new caliper(putting oil in and everything)

So now I am thinking about http://www.motostrano.com/Beringer-4-Piston-Supermoto-Caliper-p/b4-cal.htm but I am not positive it will fit a TE and I am sure as hell not gonna buy it from motostrano, but I can't find it anywhere else
 
put on a warp 9----#7 caliper relocation bracket and it mounted up perfectly, haven't taken it out yet but will let you know how it works....fade and grip....etc....

ill post up pics when I get the plastics on and everything tightened up....
 
Beer makes us feel as if we are a better mechanic during the work. Afterwards, perspective makes us see that it isnt always so..

Nice job and machine by the way! Glad you got it sorted.
 
haha good point...that's why the next morning I check for loose nuts and extra bolts lying around...
thanks, can't wait to see what's doin on the street, minus the beer of course....
