Re: Wingman
So, i found a motocross/wheel shop. They will spoke my front rim on a standard 17'' /2.50 rear rim.
They will have to drill the rim and use bigger nipples.

Re: Wingman
Yesterday i had my first run on the bike, the sound is awesome! And also cause of the intake is trough the tank, you can hear it sucking air really loud every time i throttle. I'm super happy!

Re: Wingman
Nice lines, I agree. Cornering clearance looks ample, so lets us know how she scoots.

Re: Wingman
Ole496, My original plan wasn't to cut the frame until i saw that bike!
I re-used the parts i cut off. Later i saw he did the same, only placed them back on a other place.
But i'm still going for more for a racer look.
It runs really good, even with the air intake running straight down trough the tank.
I just love the sound when i throttle. Hearing the intake sucking air.

Re: Wingman
The 17 inch front works way better. Good choice. Looks more balanced now somehow.
