It was one of the first films I had on DVD.

Will there be cake?
Metallica cunning stunts on ps2. Couldn't believe the quality through a Scart connector and 68cm t.v. With analouge Yamaha amp.
You need the rainbow licka sticka first.
If it doesn't stick the first time you just need to lick the back of it over and over until your jaw locks up. Then boom fully sticky fully qualified. Might take 4yrs.

you'll need to speak slowly for me

ohai

what do you know about getting custom spokes done? Got a woof in the front rim, was going to motard it anyway, so was thinking of slotting a 17" hoop on the front. Problem is, I need to keep the speedo drive in the front hub, so swapping a YZ rim is not an option

So you have a 19” rim and wanna fit a 17” rim with spokes to suit?

Nah, 21" front hoop to a 17" hoop

Brake clearance etc is already checked, and rim sourcing is easy, just hit a wall when trying to find spokes. I am thinking they will have to be made? Or do you know if mine can be shortened and rethreaded?

Why wouldn’t 17” standard spokes fit?

Because angle out of hub is too far in compared to standard?

If u can find someone who already does the wheels or a model of bike that already has motard wheels the u could buy the spokes from a dealer

standard 17" hub has no speedo drive, so its about half the diameter and about 2/3 the width.

We think very similar

Unfortunately, 17" rims on XT's are usually acheived with an entire YZ460  front end swap as you get upside down forks of the correct length, a triple tree that bolts straight on (and has steering damper options up the wahzoo) and a 17" rim

What you dont get, is a speedo drive. This is usually sorted with a $500 electronic dash, but its actually a stickerable offense to do this, and I dont have the coin for the dash or a crumpled YZ anyway.

Plus, speccy upside down forks and a front disc setup designed for dirt, isnt really going to match the rat rod/street scrambler vibe I am going for

Im a motorcycle technician by trade. If u dont need the bike ur best bet would be to buy a 17" wheel then find a wherl builder to swap the hubs. 17" fitment with ur original hub assebly.

Yep, I am hearing you, but I am looking down the barrel of spinal fusion, and am off the bike for 6 months so I am really needing things to do to it, (because if I dont pull it apart I am going to end up trying to ride it, plus) and need shit to keep me busy

    • Nice shot! They look super clean. The roof rack delete on the black one is interesting. Would like to see more pictures from different angles. It's subtle but could make quite a difference to how the car looks in profile.
