I hope not! Unless he gets the parts used, he could buy a SM for what it costs to convert one. Of course, I exaggerate but the Sms are going cheap! I saw a black one for under $3k the other day.


Oh nice lean angle, Chris... you're still a cock though!....

All I need is wheels to fit good tires and spacers really, I could probably find those used cheap. I wouldn't bother changing the suspension.

Oh I'd think you'd do the suspension too... Well, then...nevermind. I thought the brakes need changing and a few other things.

I have a dual sport with reworked forks and shock. There is some good adjustment to them. It's a little tall and the exxon valdez tank is too big to be a good motard, but it would be fun to play on with some street tires.

You'll need to. With the smaller wheels your geometry will be off. You need to drop the front about 1 inch and the back about 1 inch.

then that is something I would have to overcome or just sell the wheels if it didn't work. I wouldn't invest too much into it because I rather keep it for dirt.

Off road wheels are 21" front and 19" rear. SM's use 17 in rims right? So actually your front will already be 2 inches lower, you will just need to lower the rear 2 inches. Either lowering links or a shorter shock. You could adjust your sag lower but that changes your preload.
