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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

wanted ??? smr 511 4 spot caliper brembo adaptor to te511 needed urgently

hi people ....husky rev heads
I think a few of us trying to convert our te511 or te449 to a motard are having difficulty with converting the OE smr 511 wheels and 4 spot calipers to our bikes
im stuck with bolting up the calipers so I can measure the required offset required to machine the hubs as they are offset.
im at a stand still where im trying to complete this mod with CHEAPEST and EASIEST option, which is sourcing a adaptor for the 4 spot caliper...
Can anyone help me out with one or put me in the right direction.
anyway ...
ANY parts suppliers that do a adaptor.. please post details
just to mention to others.... that next task is to machine the hub and get a brake line made to suit with the correct angels..
 
my te511 smr 1.jpg
my te511 this how I bought it
which im putting on the final touches
mods so far
shortened exhaust
stepper seat custom made
up grading to front brakes ...which im working on
and im after same pillion pegs if any one has a pair ...there selling

i don't think anyone is making them at the moment. I know you said cheapest, but the easiest is to go with a beringer axial setup. you can score the calipers for around 300-500...worth every penny.
 
If you had the 50mm marzocchi forks I'd have some radial mount fork bottoms spare soon... Like Kumz said, beringer axial brake setup is the go if you have some $$.

Exactly right. The reason there seems to be some issue converting the TC/TE 449/511 is because of the difference in offset of the brake rotors. The SMR comes with an offset rotor while the offroad versions are flat. So if you're converting an offroad bike to supermoto, you need to use wheels brakes meant for the offroad bike- Beringer is top notch and well worth it. I helped Kumz get a Beringer Top Race Kit on his TE511 and it fit well with the stock forks and Alpina wheels.
 
thanks guys very helpful.
the wheels on the te511 pictured are sm pros and have the standard te511 brembo brakes..
there not the smr wheels
will the beringer caliper bolt upto a te511 offset...im thinking it will
and another question will the speedo still bolt up or what mod would be required.
 


here is a pic of my setup. works with the alpinas, stock SMR wheels (grey hubs), and polished hub wheels. You can run the stock master cyl with the 4 piston caliper. Not the best feel, but works ok. I recommend getting a bro 10 for the 4 pot in the long run. Sometimes they pop up for cheap. You can still run the speedo cable, but need a beringer magnet to go into the button. Beringer makes a cast iron rotor, and steel one. Cast iron is much more expensive, but the best out there. Zero brake fade. Shoot JR a pm for pricing. Id sell my setup (Bro 12, 6 piston caliper, rotor) for $700. Converting my bike back to a TE :)

You'll have issues running OEM SMR449/511 wheels as the hubs are different to <2010 model SMR hubs. Aftermarket wheels for husky's run less offset on the brake disc so appear to fit the TE's without issue when using a flat brake rotor.

The 449/511 hubs space the brake rotor mating surface out 4.5mm(ish) and run flat 'Braking' rotors whereas the 450/510 hubs run 4.5mm offset brake discs. Aftermarket hubs such as the Warp9, Alpina/Kite hubs use the dimensions from the 450/510 hubs. The 450/510 hubs SHOULD work with the beringer or other zero offset disc because the triple clamps on the TE/TC are 195mm as opposed to the 205mm the SMR runs, re. 5mm thinner on each side which negates the need for an offset rotor.
