  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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'd also be interested in the shifter. Some frame guards would be sweet too, although I'd prefer plastic ones like you see on the orange bikes. Brad.
 
I have actually seen an alloy shifter on a WR. As a matter of fact, the HYDE skid plate site shows a picture of a WR with a blue alloy shifter.

My 2008 WR 250 Shifter has the same problem as everyone elses , I bent mine out at the rear of shifter , cut & welded a added 3/4" to the length , it works well for my size 11 boot , I also sanded out the previous slight gouging on the cover and had it powder coated / clear coated . Yes , I would buy a aftermarket shifter if it was lighter / longer / configured out away from cover .
 
If you make it I will buy two.

Thanks,
Walt

PS. I have the OFG shifter tip on both mine and they work well but you still have it attached to the same shifter.
 
TomCat makes a very good point,...the stock shifter is too short for me too. Makes for some bad ergos between the peg and the shifter tip. It's like it was designed for a little kid's foot. I miss upshifts, and make accidental downshifts because there's not enough room in there.

If you make one Dave, make it longer too,...okay?
 
The stock shifter and brake are just right with Fastway pegs in the lowboy position.

I would like a 125 shifter that is cheaper then the stock one. I would prefer steel.
 
I've found a friendly CNC guy who is keen to have a look at this for me so this project will start to run again now, it's been stalled for a while due to a lack of time on my behalf.

Any info on the shifter? I just tried the shifter from my 2008 Husaberg and it fits, but it is slightly higher than the stock one.
 
I'd be interested in a better shifter too. Yesterday my bike fell over after the frigging stand folded up (again) and now I have a big ding in my clutch cover.

Good find. :thumbsup: I'll have to try one.
 
Zip-Ty Racing has a shifter tip that will work as well, it's not listed to fit the WR but i emailed them and they said it will fit

Will these shifters work wth older wr 250's 99 and on, does anyone have a price yet

It should work. I priced it at bike bandit and the complete lever was about $75. You can order just the lever, w/o the tip for $45. I switched my WR to a 4T tip, so I may just order the lever w/o the tip.
 
I've got the bare lever coming from bike bandit. It came to $52.33 with shipping. I'll let you know when it gets here. Never dealt with them before, so I don't know how they operate; could be weeks.
