Anyone know which if any 17" rims are an easy fit on an XR650R?

Like F2, F3, SV650, GS500, Hawk?

I wanna motard my XR on the cheap.

I definetly want a 160/60 on the rear.


Thanks

If you wanna motard it cheap, buy rims and spokes and lace them to your existing hubs.

Will it fit between the swing arm?

Good question. I hope. I certainly don't want a 180, even if it fits.

Won an Ebay auction on a COMPLETE (axle, caliper, sprocket carrier, rotor, EVERYTHING)

600 F2 wheel last night. I'll be starting my little project soon. I'll let ya know how

it goes.

Have you checked out this guys website?

http://www.scott-world.com/XR650R/

I think he is usung F2/F3 wheels setup, looks cool but I think it is on the heavy side. I found used stuff when I built my 650R tard a few years ago!
Good Luck!!

Hey Mango
The wheels I found in the Cycle salvage are indentical to what he has showing on that site.

I don't know if there is a difference between an F2 wheel and an F3 wheel, but with the mods that are being done to make the wheels fit anyway, it may not make a difference.

I'm gonna get over there when I can. I think the big diff between F2 and F3

are the rotors, and I think you can get wavy discs for F3 but not F2.

Uh yeppers, Triples Forks and all. That will be for a later date though.

I'll just try makin front and rear wheels work first.

Re: (svmango)

CBR forks on an XR?

I would imagine you'll need to seriously drop the rear to balance that out.

Actually no. You end up with a 23.5 to 24.5 deg. steering head angle.

Slap on a Scotts and you're good to go. I don't mind a nervous slapper anyway.
