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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

This followed me home, can I keep it?

Hi folks. I'm Jensen, and I'm the FNG here. Long-time rider, first-time tarder. After saying I was going to get a supermoto for years, all of a sudden an SMR 511 followed me home -- a tough find here in the USA, as I understand it.

She'll mostly be a track queen, as I've got a pretty good go-kart track just 30 miles from my house (and I need another street bike like I need a hole in my head). She's pretty much stock, as you can tell, and if my parts from Motostrano and Zip-Ty ever show up (ahem, it's been over two weeks now, and nothing has shipped guys...) I can let the modding begin!

I'm going to do the usual stuff: exhaust, PCV, oil rebreather kit, modified airbox, sliders, etc. She needs some basic maintenance too, since the previous owner hasn't done anything really. No biggie, I can't wait to get my hands dirty.



I want to do some light off-road trail/MX riding too (the original intent was to get a TE449 or TE511), so I've got to make some wheels for that, and figure out something with the front brake. I'm hoping a single-pot caliper (assuming I can find one) and the OE m/c won't be overboard with the stock 320mm disc.

I haven't seen too many guys here modify the SMR for off-roading (you're supposed to go the other way on that, huh?), so that should be an interesting build to follow.

Looking forward to making some SuMo friends here. Hopefully I see some of you guys at the track, if you're local to Northern California.

Sweet bike man you will enjoy it. Just check out all the threads on the 449/511 platform and you be able to dial that thing in! My 449 (TE model)

Got the girl on the track the other day. Just putted around since I didn't have any crash sliders on her, and because the tires were completely knackered. Still had a good time out, despite losing the rear on a 70 mph turn. I just couldn't help myself from getting on the gas after a couple "slow" session. First scratch is the hardest, am I right? :banghead:
