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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

17" Wheels and Moto master 4 pot dilemma !

I thought new wheels would just bolt on with no problems.
I have just bought a set of 17" Talon/excel wheels for my 2010 TE450 and have fitted the front wheel with the spacer that came with the wheel and it puts the wheel off center( 10mm ish).
Also at the same time the Moto master caliper adapter doesn't suit the disc being out of line (and 4 pot).
If I fit the wheel without the spacer I can centralize it more but I have to space the caliper out 2mm to centralize the disc.

Question 1. Is it normal to have to machine the axle spacer or is the wheel offset wrong?
 
Talon/Excel wheels 3.5" and 5" x17"
I have been on to Talon and they are sending me new spacers out. As the 2010 TE450 is not on there spec list, it has a different rear end than earlier and later huskys plus forks are different than earlier bikes as apposed to the 449 bikes. Nothing is ever simple.
