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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Just Hit 70,000 miles and need front and rear replacements. Have any of you guys tried Arashi?
 
I would never, never buy no brand (or store brand) disc rotors and pads, and the TR650 is not a bike that really needs floating rotors. If you managed to run for 70000 with the original discs, that tells me that the original discs are the one to buy. Together with SBS pads (at least IMHO).
 
I've considered replacing the front with a lighter one, probably floating as well. The stock ones are made by Sunstar (at least on my USA bike) and the front is quite heavy. I know the DOT has some funny requirements about rotors etc for certification so other market bikes might be different.

But it works OK and not worn out so will probably stay on there until something doesn't work well.
