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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE VS SMR Specific differences?

If you want to be able to run the offroad wheels and tires, you probably don't want to go to shorter forks, different triples, shorter swingarm, etc, unless you're going to swap all of that stuff every time (ie a complete nightmare).

TEs with the "standard" conversion parts (wheels, tires, front rotor & caliper bracket) work really well on the street, and even for moderate racing use, in my opinion.

You've said you want to match the SMR offset and wheelbase, but that's going to make the bike much less friendly to concert back to dirt use.
 
I am trying to find the differences. Thus I can make appropriate decision of what I want to do. I would like to have a dirt setup front end and a SM setup front end, but use the stock triple clamps... So I just swap forks/axle, brake, wheel all in one get off....then the back wheel.
