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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Wheels- 21/18 for SM610?

Hey all. :cheers: I need some dirt/ sand wheels for my SM610, black Excels specifically. I have the OEM wheelset, and would like to use the hubs to lace up some 21/18s. I don't mind lacing the wheels myself- laced up plenty of bicycle wheels but no MX wheels yet, I'm assuming that it's fairly easy. So.....

What would y'all do in my position? Mail order some rims and spokes? Are any of our sponsor vendors here selling these components? Or should I just call up Motoexotica and ask them? Would it make more sense to sell or trade the the OEM 17s and look for a complete dirt wheelset? :excuseme:

Thanks in advance for any input, and I'll pay you back with some pictures of a Six getting her tail twisted in the dunes. :busted:

p.s. Plan to use the 320mm rotor on the 21" front if possible, but don't know if there will be interference between the spokes and caliper or ? Anyways, not too worried about the details, just want to put paddle to the Six! :applause:

Well, thanks for the Buchanan link, Dan, that looks like a good option. Looks like you have to hang around here and be a regular to get much help from this crew. I wasn't going to show y'all the dune photos anyways, so we're even.

Not true at all. We love helping out everyone but the question you asked is a tough one. Husky's' require their own special wheel set-up and there isn't a lot of options out there. The problem is that Husky uses a different spoke pattern than others so if you are using the Husky hubs you have to use rim hoops that are built for those hubs. In you're case the best thing you could do is probably contact you're local Husky dealer.:cheers:

Alright, thanks Rajo. :cheers: I think Motoexotica is going to get the business, but thought I'd try the vendors here first. You guys seem like you're more dirt oriented, so I thought you'd be going through rims fairly often. My buddy squared the front rim on his Husky on Saturday, and we weren't even hanging it out there!

Being helpful works both ways, so I guess I can't talk- when I get the wheels sorted I'll let you guys know how it went. :hang loose

Sorry I didn't respond to your query earlier, but I had nothing of value to add so I kept my mouth shut :excuseme:

I spend a fair bit of time in the dirt on my SM610 and would be interested in the outcome of your wheel search.

BTW, I loved the photo of you and your 610 in the "Photos Of Your 610" thread :thumbsup: It's good to see some other riders getting all they can out of their supermoto. The owners of SMs that never ever see dirt are missing out on a huge part of the supermoto experience.
