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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Talon or RAD MFG Hubs???

Looking to get some sumo wheels. I found a few places online that sell either Talon hubs w/ Excel rims or RAD MFG hubs w/ Excel rims. Anybody have any experience with these? Which has the best fit for OEM sprockets and rotors? Looking at 17x3.5 Front and 17x5.0 on rear.

I've checked out Motostrano and Factory Pro Racing. Help please!
 
Based on looks only I like the Talon stuff better, I believe they are lighter as well. Came stock on my ATK. :D In fact they also came stock with fatty Bucannon spokes and the nice super strong DID rims. Talk about strong wheel sets.

Would not recommend the Rad. Riding partner had one on a honda 450 ,it broke the sprocket flanges off in short order. They did warranty it ,he sold the replacement on Craigslist and laced a factory hub. Might work on a small bore ,he's a big guy #250 and aggresive rider.
 
I had Talons a while back on a couple different bikes and I can say that I NEVER had to tighten a spoke. The fit and finish are great and you get what you pay for.
 
I've never had a problem with spokes on any Husky I've owned as they all have excel rims ...but that stock hub looks really heavy ...Are these hubs over $100 each?

If these hubs are heavier, whats the point?

Click to expand...

the stock hubs are very light. The after market ones should be stronger and look cool.
 
my old 2000 Husky TE610 had magnesium hubs are they were light. I would not expect aluminum hubs to be lighter. Not sure what the 2009 hub is made from, but probably the same. I ordered the Talon Hubs with Excel Rims from Motostrano. Plus got a GPRV4 stabilizer... of course my goldcard is melting...
