dt502001 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 17's are the preferd choice size of rims 5.5 for the rear and a 3.5 for the front,D.I.D, Acell, are good but your side their are lots more places to buy from so I am sure others can direct you better for spokes and havin them built. How about some pictuers and starting a project page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Airhead Posted October 9, 2014 Moderator Share Posted October 9, 2014 As a matter of interest...what about the accuracy of the speedo following a change of rim sizes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dt502001 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Yes it will be out but he can use a wr250sm speedo or drive cant remember the quick fix or just do any other options 1 ignore it and get used to the higher speeds shown, and remember what speed means what 2install another speedo that can be recaculated, 3install a gps and/or cell phone with gps& use it lots of options. But a very good point he my have over looked AH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiffy Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 Would the drive from a dt 125 x work as it has the 17" sm wheels a good valid point from you airhead if I can't sort it out I will probably get a vapour speedo or similar but wil worry about that when I've sourced the sm rims and spokes can't seem to find many companies in this country to get them though will keep looking , I have spotted a rare pro circuit pipe while hunting the Internet Im thinking hmmm yes it's a bit dented but it's cheap and I can get the dents blown out can't i theres no holes in it and only abit of surface rust on it it should sound nice and go better with it on from what I've read I did email d&d graphics as well yesterday waiting for a response from them for some graphics it should start to come together abit then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
