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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Good stuff.....

I love the way the Harley custom clone guys call them.... "Brake King". :lol:
 
I'd like to make the front brake on my 07 TE450 a little less grabby on technical downhills. Would the material composition in these rotors help with that or would just having a different set of pads help? Other than that, I like how strong the front brake is.

They might or might not. Swapping out pads to find the right combo will be cheaper.

for SoCal (read, dry mostly) the rep/racer always mentioned the CM44 pads, I used them on my 04TC450 with the wave front, very good feel from the combo. Again that is mostly dry and dusty conditions, I never tried the other Braking compounds only the CM44 type. I am sure that other top brand pads are great too, but I think because Braking do all their testing with their pads/discs and calipers as well its the best way to go. http://brakingusa.com/product-OffRoad.aspx

K this is your zone I hope my tech info is OK for the crew

I appreciate the input as there are a lot of choices. I'm really not sure what combos are squeak free. I do like your idea of sticking with Braking brand though, makes sense.
 
Just received my front and rear wave rotors today and they are bitchen, real nice quality units, installed perfectly on my SM setup. Cannot wait to see how they improve performance. Thanks Kelly!
 
I cooked the front rotor on my SM610 and it is warped now. I need a new rotor. Do you guys have one that will fit? It's driving me nuts...
