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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Are G650GS wheels bolt on compatible?

Is the Strada a 3" wide or 3.5" wide rear rim?

The parts manual, service manual and owners manual says 3"
But the online specs says its 3.5", which matches the G650GS
 
It's a 4 1/8" rim on the outside edges as I just measured with a makeshift caliper/C-clamp....I'm pretty sure it's a 3.5" rim. I also measured my used Dakar rim that has 3.00" stamped on it...and it's 3 5/8"....so I'm even more sure the stock Strada rear rim is 3.5"...short of taking off the tire off the rim and measuring.
 
Double confirmed. Snapped a picture of the wheel with it off. I do believe it says, "3.5x17".

OK, now for the front wheel.

Can any of you Strada guys confirm that your wheels have 7722554 stamped on the hub on the opposite side from the disc?
 
Assuming you got confirmation the part number is the right part of the add and the model is not....that's a GOOD deal....especially if it has a rotor and ABS ring on it.
