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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2008 TE450 - Caliper Relocation Bracket or 260 Rotor???

Per EBC neither the BRK007 or BRK012 relo bracket works with the 2008 TE450.

I have a 2008 TE450 and a pair of Excel SM Rims that were used on a carb'd TE. But the EBC Relo Bracket that I received with rims doesn't match up with the Brembo caliper on the 50mm Machozzi forks.

I'm struggling to find a relocation bracket that will work and am hoping y'all can point me in the right direction. I want to be able to field swap my SM wheels and my dirt wheels, while I'm camping in the Ozarks of Arkansas.

My plan of action is as follows:
  1. Buy a plug/play relocation bracket.
  2. Buy a 260 Rotor (I'm not racing or even doing track days)
  3. Make a relocation bracket on a CNC mill
I know some of y'all have dealt with this and am hoping for some good advice.
Thanks for the consideration.

For now I went with option 2. I found a 260mm used rotor on the BMP Ebay page. Hope to be rolling early next week.

Thx...nlp
 
For now I went with a 260mm rotor. I had to drill the rotor bolts out of the hub... Definitely a pucker moment. Waiting for some M6x1 bolts to deliver before I can proceed.

Idk if yours is the same, my bike is a 2005 te450 with the 45mm marzocchi's. I'd bet the legs are the same. I simply bought a 320mm adapter for Ktm off amazon. Bolted right up. I didn't use an offset disc so I had to put a few washers behind the bracket.
