Yup, here I am at the kart track about to pass a DRZSM. This is with Shinko 705s on the NX250 19" front and stock rear.

Since I want a little dirt road capability I'm going with the Distanzias in supermoto size/compound. Won't be running track, at this point, and am looking for a set up more suited to city play, normal backroads, mountain passes and a bit of graded dirt road if necessary. They will be going on my TE630 and I've got a SM630 that my girlfriend rides. Just getting tired of ruining top shelf offroad tires on the TE for pavement use.

OK, just ordered a 19" Excel hoop and spokes / nipples. I'll lace it to my stock XR-R hub. Or, at least I'm gonna try

This is my DR350: gs500 wheels, gs500 rear caliper, katana 600 front caliper/master cylinder. its beat and slow but fun nonetheless.

Fairly easy. I did it with hand tools.

Just to fit and align the wheels:
Swap bearing
Asst. of washers used as spacers (I'll be ordering real spacers sometime soon)

Fitting the brakes a little more involved
Had to bore out gs500 caliper bracket to dr350 axle size
Cut off a portion of the chain block (the rear sprocket interferes)
Had to grind a little bit (1mm) off the caliper bracket width
The real pain was hacksawing the 3/4" aluminum plate for the front caliper relocation bracket (due to larger rotor)

You lose the speedo. I put an electronic one (hall sensor).

Hello,new to this thread,has anyone tried the hiedinou sm tires?

Gryphon12 · 12-09-2012, 08:27 PM

Heidenau tires are expensive in the USA. Do they provide any significant advantage with their SM offering?

Kbowling · 12-10-2012, 11:05 AM

I priced a set from sportour.com and they were less than the avon extreme rain that I been running

Looks good. Is the MX style rear fender a bolt on or did it require some modification to fit?

Its from a yz400/426. they are the same bike, so it's pretty much bolt on. you need to cut a notch for the coolant overflow, but if you buy aftermarket, they mark where the notch needs to be cut. I also had to cut about a 2 inch notch from the exhaust side, since the yz pipe I have is bigger than the stock wr.
