Default SF wheels on my S

I finally got a set of SF wheels for my S. It was a really easy conversion. kickstand length is fine, my chain length worked and i just put my S front disk on the SF wheel. Still need to get my speedoDRD installed but other than that it was fun to rip around my neighborhood with the smaller wheels. I think I was a little inspired by this video my friend and I made for this local supermoto racer. I cant wait to take it to the track.

if you want to keep the same chain length....15/42 on the sf wheels will be useable for riding around town, mountain and freeway buzz...it'll be better to go down to 14/42 or 13/42 if you really want the front to lift up with every twist...if you go larger rear, you'll need longer chain (oem is 108 links)

i dont have stock chain, should fit fine if i go up teeth in back. the fronts alot lighter already with the little wheels and the 351 powering it.

Well done. These bikes are a lot more fun on road, especially with the big bore. I prefer something a lot lighter off road.
