bogies next crazy idea....WARNING Supermoto content...
so... ever since i started watching youtube vids of supermotos, i have wanted a su-mo...now thats gonna happen, and on the dirty cheap too... to start this off, i picked up a set of 1987 kawasaki ex250 ninja rims...for $113 shipped... need to get a cush drive hub for it, and a proper sprocket but other than that, parts are fairly well done (aside from fabbing the appropriate spacers for the rims and making the proper brake mounts...all stuff i can do LOL) so yeah... picture these rims (painted magnesium/goldish color) on my bike...

I wouldn't worry about a cush hub too much unless you like to shift without the clutch alot

Sorry i didnt see the ask for updates.... Well no actual work has been done yet, other than Danita thinking it would be a nice gesture to buy me a shinko 567 front tire and 568 rear as well as a sprocket to convert it to 520 chain so i can use the stock ninja rear sprocket... I did also pick up a rear axle and spacers for the ninja, figure it would be a good starting point for modding stuff...

Picture time... On the left we have a 110/80-16 shinko 567, and the right a 130/80-16 shinko 568...
The left is the front tire, the right is the rear if you didnt already figure out that fat one for the rear...LOL |

What helped you to decide on 16", vs. 17" or 18"?
