good to know that wheels off of sports bikes can cope with the weight.
Ill be sticking a set of custom cut wheels on my bike when i build it but still want to run a 120front and a 190 rear, maybe evan a 180 cos i do love corners

Could someone tell me where I can get the bits to convert my '07 max so that I can run radial tires? Do you get 17 inch wheels somewhere? Can't seem to get any info off the net...Any help appreciated... a website? Thanks!

The front will take a radial, as for the back there are many types out there available. or you can get one from Tom at Cycle One Off, or send your stocker rear wheel to Kosman and have them rework it for you.

Holy cow, those Kosman conversions look like total ASS!
You couldn't give me a set of those. And where is the 18" rear option. I'd rather run a set of laced up up wheels attached to a whittled down Vmax hub ala the 1986 Cycle World shootout article.

I don't mind them all that much, I think they look pretty normal, but probably a little heavier than stock.
I would get it done to my rear wheel, but I'm now in saving mode for a Steve Taylor set up. My moped is slowly transforming.
It will be similast to this, 'cept my douple headlights and pipe.

Honda VTR is another. I think I can make Ducati fit also.

attached is a different way they do it for the 85 wheels.

I've got a crushed one around here somewhere. Was going to maybe have it fixed.

Do you know what happened to it? Where did you find it at?

If I remember right, Roy's was bent... It is SUPER light. More for track duty and WAY less for road duty, but that's what his dad used the bike for back in the day.

Yes sir. There are a couple of dents and dings in it, but it has been used and abused and taken the majority of it very well.

Yeah! These short sidewalls don't help either.
If I EVER rode mine I may have the same issue... lol :biglaugh:
Actually, Come to think of it I may have the front wheel. The rear was sold before I got the bike. Would have been around 2002-2003. It may actually be the match to the wheel I have (which were on a 99 bike from Florida when it was crashed hard).

I saw an ad for a used Max that claimed it had a 17" front wheel from a YZF 600 R Thundercat. Any one tried that? Are any modifications required?
Thanks,
