Well got me some TZR 250 rims & are now well into setting up my TTR 600 Belgarda for the road with some good rubber to suit , plus have put my dirt tyres back onto the original rims so I can get back into off road stuff as well . Have to make some spacers & replace bearing to suit TTR Axles size & make a front brake adapter plate for the 320mm disc all of which is pretty easy stuff to do so hope to have it up & running in a couple of weeks as long as time allows . Couple of pics with the rims in place to see how things will fit up & looks bloody close with the rear rim almost bolting right up . Cann't wait to get her finished & the rims painted white to match the other bits on the bike .

I wouldn't have thought they'd be wide enough to run really good rubber, they'll only be a 2.5x17 front and maybe 3.5x17 rear?

Not looking for that much grip Kickaha it is a Motard set up & they are ment to be drifted so 140 rear /120 front will be more than enough . If not I'll just take my RSVR out :2thumbsup

My DR-Z has those tyre sizes and it is enough grip for that. But then it's a strangled wee thing.. :(

Looks like fun, you should race it ;)

Exactly what I was talking about a TZR won't have a rim wider than a 2.5 where as a 120 front would normally be on a 3-3.5 rim, if anything I'd think you'd lose front grip because the front tyre won't be the correct shape when it's fitted to the narrower rim

Well looks like I'll be working right up till Christmas day so have given my riding Mentor a call to see if he would do the rest of the conversion for me & has said sweet no worrys . Should be done by the end of next week & then get some rubber sorted out & on the road before the end of the month :banana: Will post up some more pictures as it is going alone for others that are thinking of doing the same . :2thumbsup
