Just got the rear mounted, the 150 tire is a bit wide and some touching of the chain has occurred, just a bit however, 140 would be the size to run. A

All complete and ready to ride. For those interested, not the faint of heart or pocketbook, he is a breakdown of cost. Keep in mind there are less expensive routes to the same results. I originally purchased the bike with full intentions of going motard. Could have bought a DRZ, but,nah, why be just like everyone else? anyway here is the cost:
stock hubs $600 (ouch!) $00 if you re-use your existing hubs
Custom made spokes $140, no way around this one
Spoke nipples $68, again, no way around this either
Lace and true wheels $160, $00 if you do your own work
Sun black rims custom drilled $550, less if you use excels of silver rims
Avon Distanzia tires $260, this varies on what you use for tires
All said and done $1600 for ready to ride setup
Additional extras at your discretion:
EBC oversize rotor and bracket $200
Stainless brake line $55
KX250F master cylinder used $30
Hours of fun $$priceless!!!!!!!!!!
Here is a link to the supplier, fast, reliable and freindly:
