well ive been watching motard racing more and more and would liek to get my 50 setup on the street. i've seen the bolt up motard wheels with tires sets for around $200 i've got an 88 kit and well it'll need a clutch soon. But back to the motard question can i rock the stock forks with 1+ forks hd springs and i have a decent shock in the back. everything else is stock except a tall sgr seat. been scopin out some lots that i may be able to run and this looks like somethin i could get into cuz i'm into street bikes. so help a newb tard out :)

Most of those motard wheel/tire setups have 12" wheels and will not work with the stock forks or swingarm, for a variety of reasons.



1. 12" wheel won't fit in the swingarm

2. 12" front motard wheel won't fit in between the front forks

3. Both wheels use disc brake setups

4. Most motard wheels are at 1.85"/2.15" fronts and 2.15"/2.50" rears. Stock rims are only 1.40" wide.



A pair of IRC MB38 tires will work just fine on stock rims

i'm talking this set. sgr-usa.com reason i need the wheels is i just torched my stock rear and wanted to have two sets of wheels i'll be putting hd spoke on my stock wheels and using them with the dirt tires. and running the $200 kit for my street setup. does that setup seem like a good deal. i'de be running the stock swinger for a bit yet since i dont' have the green for a new one yet

you got to watch some of those motard wheel set ups that bolt right on the CRF50...most use Chinese hubs and they will self destruct...a BBR rim and spoke set on a real Honda hub is more durable (as long as you keep the spokes tight)...other than that, go billet hub

it would probably be more cost efective to buy some cheap stockers and have the spoke redone with hd's? i could always find a set of tires somewhere. i havent' seen any sponsors sellign hd spokes lately where can i get a couple sets at a decent price?

LILIFIFTY .., Just in case you didn't know ??



A used XR/CRF 70 swingarm that needs to be slightly moded to work on a 50 .., can usually be had for cheap on here and will get you where you need to be to match the front end set up that you have now .



This is one of mine .. Yours will sit like this too with the swinger added ..

It has the +1 forks with hd springs , a 70 swingarm , a KLX110 shock , stk rims with hd spokes with 3.0 x 10 SL 26's front and rear .

i have been noticing that the bike seems low i can cut corners with my starcrosses on and it hits the peg and usually wipes me out. would ading the 70 swinger or any other swinger help with that? i'm thinking about getting some forks and swinger combo this spring if money permits.

For every inch of extension you add ..., that's roughly how much higher you will get the bike off the gound .. ;)

That wheel set is solid and the rims are 1.6 inches wide. I ran a rear this season with no problems with a 184cc set up on asphalt. My buddy ran the wheels (with Dunlop tires) this past s4eason with no problems either. They come with HD spokes too.
