It'd handle crazy weird, you might have to just save up. If you are just looking to commute slowly, you might be okay...

Why? Just wondering, cause I thought about doing this with my street legal WR250 last year.

all i do is ride it in parking lots and some street riding. i'm looking for street tires to keep from washing out on stoppies and wheelies untill i can save up for SM wheels.

Or you can call me for a SMOKIN' deal on some SM wheels (17x3.5 and 17x4.25, billet hubs, most bikes $749)....

Any of the spoked wheels will need tubes unless you do a conversion to tubless. But yes just the normal dirt tire tube.

i wish i had 749 then i would just need a little more to buy buellers SM set up. how much would it be to ship tires to the springs?

Shipping a pair of tires to CS will run about $15......we have daily UPS, so you could have them before the weekend pretty easily.... lotsa choices either in stock or 1-2 days out

you should definatly try sportsman out, unless you are for sure that you want sumo.

i know kevins kits at EPIC come with both brake rotors and a rear sprocket, with the front being a sweet ass oversized rotor.

tell him you want the warp9 kit.




i have both a crf450 and a crf250 supermoto in my garage. and i wish i knew about warp9 and epic before i dropped over $1600 apiece on each kit. (spread out over 2 years)
