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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

So recently a bike popped up on marketplace that intrigued me. It's advertised as a 2011 wr175. It actually has a wr175 decal on it that is identical to the factory wr125. He advertises it as a big bore. Now I know that Husky did a 144 kit and I know that Wally did a 165. Is anybody familiar with a 175? I don't even see how this would be possible with the power valve and where in the world would you get replacement rings and Pistons? Inquiring minds want to know.

Pretty sure Wallybean did a 175 too. It required the cases to be machined, as I recall. probably some mention of it here on the forum.

The 177 was the 165 top end on a stroked bottom end. Takes the same piston/ring as the 165 and the rod kit is stock too. It is a really nice motor. I built 7 of them. Still supply the pistons for the 165.
