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

they dont look that bad IMHO



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!!



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.........



very nice!

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

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