How to build your very own nx650 streettracker, Part #3
THE WHEELS
Rear wheel is standard 17" rebuilt spokes or just powder coat the whole thing as i did on version one choice is yours.
Front wheel is now a 19" this is achieved either by using the original hub and having a new 19" rim fitted or using a complete wheel from a Honda slr650 but you will have to use the SLR disc and caliper which i think 20mm bigger in diameter choice again is yours.
Tyres were another important decision again for the look and practicality and the Continental TKC80 twinduro were eventually chosen. These handle very well in the dry and are almost vibration free.
Sizes - rear 140/80/17 front - 120/90/19.
SUSPENSION
Both front and rear are completely standard and original, the front forks have 2 " spacers inside the leg and are removed via the cap at the top of the upper stanchion , doing this and pulling the legs through the yokes another 2" should be enough of a drop.
The rear drop has already been achieved by the frame so can be left alone.
