    You don't really need the motard wheels just put some road tyres on the std wheels.

    XR650R Adventure maybe? Looks really nicely done. Wonder where he got the fairing from and I though the alloy subframe meant panniers such as these were a bit of a no no.

    If that's the one I think it is, it got trashed in a crash and re-built with a TrailTech 8" headlight and small screen.

    As far as I know there are aftermarket steel subframes for people who get serious about carrying luggage.
