Just got another "project bike" a honda crm250 and want to supermoto it so after a set of 17" front and rear wheels to fit So if anyone has anything let me know
Ive got a set off a ktm 525 dunno if there anygood to you, gold talon hubs with silver rims. Its got the rear sprocket and oversized 320mm disk, new bearings in the front wheel and rear are fine and its got a set of mitchelin pilot power tyres with plenty of tread
Didnt get round to checking them today il do it tomorrow, any specific things you want me to get sizes of
Just need to know the rim width and tyre width really, will probably need to change the bearings unless they are for a 17mm spindle.
The front tyre is 120/70 and the rear tyre is 160/60. Rear wheel width is 4.25 and front is 3.5, it has this printed on the rim. Give crm a message and see what size wheels he has on his
120 70 17 front and 3.5 rim 150 60 17 rear on a 4.5 rim 160 wont fit and fucks the handling up. spindle size is important as is rear carrier offset and disk alignment - i dont think these will come close tbh or all the other guys would be buying them. XR650 large talon disk to suit the talon hub, and the XR650 caliper spacer conversion makes for a pretty urgent front brake. i know XR400 wheels fit with minimal effort front and rear. front needs some custom spacers turning out, and some trimming of the fork guards rear fits with no effort once you cut off the chain guard locating lug off the swingarm Other option is to buy some spare wheels and get some excel rims laced to the old hubs. you know it all fits and lines up then I use BT090's and the 60 profile front makes it all a bit urgent up front and you lose lots of feel so stick with the 70 profile if i was you, tyres wear perfectly even and it grips and corners like a bastard. As mentioned you can if handly with a lathe make a set of the grey Mito wheels fit, but they weigh about as much as a small planet and while they may look ok take some effort in changing direction. If going to do a motard conversion as said either do it properly or leave it as is - just my 2p worth.
I like the fact that im in the background of that 2nd picture haha, after you have well and truly cleared off like a rocket
The above is the reason i said ask crm (paul) as he is clued up on the bikes he has and sm wheels arnt cheap
