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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

te449 radial adpator for a 4 spot caliper...brembo

I posted this on another thread or section but saw that theres a super moto section.

I've got a te smr 511 brembo caliper and master cylinder that id want to use on my te449.
Obviously they run different forks so they are not compatiable
I know the front hub offset is different ... by 5mm which would need to be machined....
is there a bracket available... which im having trouble sourcing ...
might be looking at the beringer caliper / master cylinder race kit. but I'm only using it on the street atm.
or just purchasing a caliper that would bolt up directly to the te forks.

or second option is just buy a caliper bracket to suit the standard te caliper which I think would be a waist of money.

Are the brembo caliper radial type mount a good replacement or the beringer the best option..and obviously an upgrade of the master cylinder also...but I just want to sort out this caliper dilemma.

NOTE: that I still would need the speedo to be operating ...this another issue and would be a factor in which id be purchasing

beringer kit pro racer.....6 piston kit
I notice that it has the speedo screw point
atm this is my best option ive seen
I think its the 300mm kit
anyone else got any pics of a different kit I can use
 
front brakes my bike smr.jpg

well this a picture of a te fork caliper mount with the 320mm rotor
note... I had the rotor powder coated
these are a set of sm pro wheels with the correct offset so didn't need to be machined.
 
you might try warp 9, they sent me the caliper bracket with my kit, looks similiar, i can send pics later if you need them. for the speedo i jb welded a magnet to the rotor where the other magnet was on the stock parts, speedo works fine.
 
great pics would be good so others understand wot where talking about ..
yeh speedo wont be a big issue but your advise would be nice to hear.
im hanging to get it back on the road ... ill take same pics myself of the caliper etc. of the smr
if had any problems that's worth mentioning be nice too.
thx
I know that the brake line would need to be made up to suit a 4 spot caliper as the smr brake line doesn't quite fit. angles are a bit different of the fittings etc
 
I am impressed by my stock caliper and 320mm warp 9 with motorex fluid, very very good on the street.

I will likely go beringer when the time comes.
 
As Huskylove said bracket came with kit, for me everything to convert to SM came in the kit...I've found the stock brembo with the large rotor is way more than enough for my needs
