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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Yeah, the TE's have a taller 5th and 6th. When it comes time to rebuild, I'll probably grab a TE 5th and 6th to swap in to my SMS. It's been done, and would let me run lower geared sprockets without sacrificing highway cruising.

I have read about this option too, but it feels a bit like guys who have automatic cars that do the manual conversion...sometimes it's cheaper and easier to sell the one you have and buy the one you want.

Our motors are supposed to be nice and relatively "tame" street motors unlike the 450's or 510's, how long do you suppose you'll go before rebuilding?
 
A while, I'm sure, I'm around 8000 miles right now. I've rebuilt plenty of bike motors before, and the parts are only a couple hundred bucks to swap 5th and 6th, so it's not really that big of a deal once the case is already split.

I would be paying a lot more than just for parts :cry:
