    Building Supermoto wheels?

    Does anyone know of a good source to have 17" wheels built with stock hubs?

    I'm looking to put them on my XR400 for street riding. I want to be able to swap back to the dirt wheels for off roading. So I'm leaving the stock breaks on, plus I don't want to spend the big bucks for a set of race wheels and brakes.

    Is there anyone local, Colorado, that does this?

    I found something on a place called east coast wheels, but their website is down.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    Saw a guy at IMI a couple of weeks ago that was riding a CR500 with F2 wheels on it. Apparently they bolted up... He had to make a spacer for the brake calipers to fit the disc, but apparently that was it.

    If you want to do it yourself, I'll help you. I have lots of experience with bicycle wheels and there's a forum on thumpertalk that says you can do it yourself...
    Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious.
