admitadly it didnt have SM wheels but its a cheep mod if you sell origionals or put gsx wheels on.

IMHO gsxr wheels would look terrible on a supermoto, you've got to have spoked wheels, preferably gold;)

don't forget to uprate the front brake, stopping you from 60 on the road will put a LOT more strain on it than riding on dirt:thumbsup:

For the cost you cant really argue. I had planned to do it on my bike, well, I did do it on my bike, but then some scrote stole it when the hub was away for machineing!! :smt088

the yellow one is mine. And before I get abuse, the downpipe does clean up nicly! It is just stuck on dirtyness from a ride on the lanes! And boy does the E spec have some balls!!

And if anyone wants to see an E-spec thats been SMed.........

if the wheels were a freebie then i can see the attraction, but supermotos just look wrong without spoked wheels:D

KTM's look good though, and they probably are the most refined avaliable since KTM have been doing 'turds for yonks
