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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Supermoto/motard wheels for TE511

I went with the Warp 9 wheels.

Theyre good for the price. Just pay attention to your front wheel spacing, as the Warp 9 hub may not be the exact width as your stock hub. I had to add a shim on the outside of my stock spacer. Otherwise they work great. Just using them for the street. Will only do a few track days here and there. Make sure you put good quality high temp brake fluid in the master cylinder too! I use Motul. You dont want to experience the brake lever pulling all the way to the grip when trying to slide the back end out a bit haha.
When you order the wheels from Warp 9 you get the offset bracket, sprocket, and both brake discs. I would suggest a rear sprocket in the 41-43 tooth range. I run a 42T.

Did Warp 9 send you any spacers? I just got my wheels today. No spacers, so what did you do/use to shim?
Gotta get some better Brake fluid.
Thanks
 
Your just gonna have to play with it and see what fits and lines up. The kit should come with everything you need, brackets, rotors, sprocket etc...stock spacers may work fine as long as you measured correctly. You'll know if you need shims if the rotor doesn't line up in the caliper
 
Got my Warp9's a couple of weeks ago. Got lucky on the wheel fit, but they sent the wrong caliper bracket (a #3). 2nd one (#7) was the ticket :applause:

Excellent so there's hope for me. I have had my wheels since Friday and still haven't had a chance to mount them yet.
 
I currently have a set of warp 9 rims still in the box since March lol, have an appointment to get mounted on the 19th. Will let you know how it goes. Installing on 13 te449. I had ordered the rims thru my local husky dealer (toytech) and they had asked for the exact hub size off my te, I'm hoping everything fits nicely without the need to shim. haven't opened the little baggie to check the caliper bracket.. I'm thinkin maybe I should.
 
The problem with the #3 bracket on my bike was the hole pattern was not right for the caliper.....bolted up on the fork side. After talking to the guy at Warp 9, sounds like husky was using up leftover parts. 5 different rear hub sizes for what should be the same bike??????:thumbsdown:

Just received a 16.5" excel front to go with the excel 5" rear. Both use OEM hubs so none of this mucking about with spacers!

Just need to find spokes for the 16.5 now :)
 
Amazon.com, got the last one they had for $230 to my door. Just need to sort out getting spokes/nipples for it.

No spacers. Had a small shim laying around that I used. Im gonna get an actual spacer machined for it one of these days. Its about a millimeter difference on my bike with the Warp 9 hub
 
Anybody have problems with Warp 9 putting the seals on the wrong sides of the wheels? Now I have to try and take a move the seals to the correct sides without ruining them.
 
Anybody try drilling a hole in their SM front brake disk for the stock speedo pickup? I am going to give it a shot.
 
I have the 320mm floating rotor upgrade.

Speedo is like 14% off....so 55 is actually 45mph...100 is actually 82ish or so idk. I hit 90ish regularly so figure thats 80mph. Nowhere near as fast as it feels :)
