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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

How would that work? I don't 'get' it. You'd have two levers right? So couldn't you conceivably use any combination of the two systems?
the master of the TXC450 is 9.5 mm just for info. They do make other other cyl piston sizes. I think KTMs use 10.5 as their standard and I think the slave piston is the same dia as the Husky slave.

that was me. you should make one!! thwy are close but will not work. i will replace mine on my 07 510smr though soon.Colo moto;129297 said:Just had a customer call looking for the diameter of our slave piston as he was interested in installing one in his KTM. Two different diameters so it wouldn't work. Can't remember which model KTM.
