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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

610SM wheels on a TE450?

I think it lists winning bids on eBay, doesn't it? anyway, IIRC, it was something like $551, plus the $85 shipping. When the box arrived, the postage cost the seller $91.

With shipping, I paid around $630, and it came with front and rear brakes (complete, SS brake line and all), and an extra front brake master cyl. that the seller included as a freebie surprise. The rear tire is also in really good shape.

You did good,
I'm glad someone from cafehusky won it for a fair price,
I thought it would go for much higher...

dont forget to show us pix after the SuMo wheels are on ****************************************
 
Here's an update in case anyone is following along: Bob from Halls is sending me 2 caliper relocating brackets. Bracket 1 will supposedly mount to my TE450 forks, and will allow me to use my existing TE450 caliper with the larger rotor on the SM610 wheel. This will let me get the bike on the road, but the TE 450 caliper is rather small, and not likely up to the task of track duty with sticky tires. I expect there would be some fade after heavy braking use.

Bracket #2 is evidently a Husky part, and has some sort of slider pin to allow the caliper to float. This bracket has the wrong spacing for the mounting holes where it wouild mount to my TE forks, but it fits the 610 caliper. I will use this part as an example when I try to find the correct bracket, or as a pattern to have the correct bracket machined (but with mounting holes that will fit my TE450 forks.

I'm surprised that it is proving this difficult to fit 610SM wheels and brakes on my TE450.

Its not difficult, just change the mounting holes to 10mm

I hope you're right, but I don't think you are (I don't yet have the brackets in front to me). I think the spacing of the holes is going to be off by 40 some mm.

You still have to use a relocation bracket like the SM 610 does. The problem here is you are trying to bolt a system that uses 10mm fasteners onto a 8mm system . I hope you find a relocation bracket that has the 2 different sizes as I am curious about this as well. I just wanted to ride and have a drill and metric taps so I just converted mine.
