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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Can't help with the rad guards I'm sure someone will chime in on those.

I have dealt with Motostrano, good outfit. Expect 4 weeks for a custom wheel set build.
I''l be having a set of 17" warp 9's built for my 12 TE310 by them as soon as I make up my mind about the 4.5" vs. 5" rear wheel.
4.5 is good for a 150 tire, quick turning, lighter weight. 5" will run a wider 160, stable turns, have to scrape pegs before it will break traction.

Warp 9 are not the greatest wheels in the world but they're not crap either. I ran them on a KTM 525 SMR with no issues.On par with stock DRZ400sm wheels and many others.
I'm just riding street with them and keeping my stock 18/21 for weekend trail duty. I would avoid anodized rims, they fade over time and clear starts to peel after a few years. Powdercoating lasts much longer.
If you plan to do big jumps, ride up and down stairs all day or want to get into competitive supermoto spend the extra $200 for some Excel rims. Stronger and lighter.

Thier hubs do not have a speedo drive gear. You will need to use a pickup magnet and a speedo like Trail Tech vapor to read your speed.
I plan to use my Garmin with a Touratec mount for speedo in town. Worked fine on the KTM with the exception of 3PM sun right behind me.

Make sure you get the front brake relocation bracket for the 320mm brake rotor.
You'll want it over the stock rotor, it's really strong and you already have an excellent Brembo brake setup.

As far as I know most if not all Husqvarna SM wheels fit the TE series. 510, 630. Husaberg and Gas Gas wheels I'm told fit. Check first. axle diameter, spacer width, sprocket offset.
I'm looking into KTM now, they've been making sumo's for the longest and have the most changes but there are some compatible wheel sets.

Wheeling cycle supply also has sumo wheels. As for Forrest, hes cool. I've only dealt with them on DRZ parts so husky may not be thier thing.

An inexpensive option if you don't plan to switch back and forth from street to dirt is have your stock wheels re-laced with 17's.
Excel rims can be found new for around a $100 a piece. Add spokes/labor only looking a couple bills a wheel.You'll need the European style 36 hole wheels.
You can also have them built as Tubless rims and shave another 1/2 lb off each wheel. More of a racing thing but I always thought it was kind of cool.

Just wanted to ask im running the exact same warp 9 setup from bought motostrano as well, what sprockets are you running? I am running a stock front sprocket with a 44t that is include with the warp 9 wheels. I didnt notice any issue but It was topping pretty fast maybe around 85-95mph im guessing because I dont have a speedo yet, any sugestions for the as well?
