Thinking about the sm setup but i have a quick question

Calum122 · Guru

It'll be a project mate. See my display picture. Aprilia rs wheels mate.

Front fitted no problems. Rear is a bit of a mission. Depends how good you are with projects.

If want to do a serious job then definately go for something out o the blue. Just something different. Be different. And make a thread on here with lots of pictures, problems and solutions. Any questions pos it on here and let us have a look. It's really good fun.

Yours looks smart as f@ck mate and its nice to be a bit different. Seen a set of mito wheels on the bay including forks headset and yokes for cheap. Need a paint and tyres and sprocket but hey thats nothing, just be the fitting really. Trouble is i cant do without my bike, need it as its my only mode of transport.

There close to you to and only about 30 mile from me

Calum122 · Guru

Ah right. The forks won't do you any good. They're going to be a lot smaller than DT forks.

grifter · DTR Respected Member

Suppose i could just sell them on to get a bit of cash back. Here is the link mate what do you think? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281037482180?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Oh yes matey. I am liking that!

They look sweet. All you need to do mate is buy those. And just keep em. Then accumulate all the parts you need. Put the wheels on. Measure for spacers. Put the DT wheels back on. Get spacers made up. So long as you keep your DT parts it doesn't matter how long it takes. But they do look sweet.

Remember you'll need spindles as well! For that bike. And the bearings will want replacing.

Sounds like a plan then fella. If they stay at 30 sheets should be a bargain to. So are your forks original dt forks?

Calum122 · Guru

Nah. I bought wr450F forks. Done a usd conversion. It's all in the forks section. Lots of pics on how I did it. Type in usd conversion using extension into the search. Should come up.

GADGET · Guru

Or you could measure the new wheel and just get new bearings to make it fit th dtr spindle

Calum122 · Guru

True. It's very unlikely that you'll find bearings to fit the hub and will fit the DT spindle.

GADGET · Guru

Most bearings are in metric sizes ,all you have to do is measure the width/ inside diameter them measure th hub and that's th outside diameter then ask for that size at a bearing place

Your thread is very informative Cal, you said on there that you were gonna change the colour of your rims, you still gonna?

Firthy · DTR Senior Member

how much your rs wheels cost cal?

Calum122 · Guru

Yeah. Get them powdercoated black me thinks. Real shame cause they're a nice colour. Just don't go with the bike.

The wheels alone cost me £300. The usd conversion cost me another £100. Sprockets an chain cost me £150. Brakes about £100. That's including the 03 disc which is suppose to be better than the one designed with those wheels.

I'm using rs125 brakes. Stainless steel braided hoses.

An literally just bought the dep today :D

Firthy · DTR Senior Member

its smart as mate, and dep will finish it off nicely!

Calum122 · Guru

Oh yes buddy. And a sweet little graphic set from d&d me thinks. Ought to look bang tidy. A lot of buck though so security is a must. Alarm chain and disc is what I'm using.

grifter · DTR Respected Member

£100 for the usd's sounds cheap mate, just looked on the bay and a pretty much mint set is £200 then they go up in price

Calum122 · Guru

Sorry mate. £300 for the usd. I'm on te iPod. Hit the wrong button. The wheels and forks cost £600

Firthy · DTR Senior Member

Forks and dep will match, update your avatar ;)

Firthy · DTR Senior Member

When youve got dep on

Calum122 · Guru

I got rippe off on the forks. Paid stupid money for em then saw the exact pair for half the price.

Firthy · DTR Senior Member

Least you know they were mint at that price the ones half price could of had a reyt hard life

Calum122 · Guru

They're good. For now.

Lol

grifter · DTR Respected Member

I was gonna say £100 was an absolute bargain. These look smart though http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/YAMAHA-WR-250F-2006-FRONT-FORKS-/321038603995?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item4abf6456db

Calum122 · Guru

Same forks as me matey.

You'll want the spindle for that as well. Shouldn't be too hard to find. That's a good price too. I paid £160 for the forks alone. Then £70 for yokes and spindles then had to machine up that part. Plus I wanted new earwigs on it.
