You're doing pretty much what I plan to do with a smaller bike.  Thinking 100-250cc 2-stroke.

 

Before you spend a ton on 17" wheels, the stock rear is 18"

 

do some research on if you can lace a rear rim to a front hub using the spoke setup from the rear wheel.  Then your build cost is only in the $150 range, rather than hundreds of dollars for a set of 17's.  Ending up with 18" front and rear certainly doesn't give you a ton of tire options, but it will improve the geometry of the bike a lot over 18/21. 

 

Edit** looks like Pirelli Sport Demon's or Bridgestone BT45's would fit.

Cool! +1'd! I was just thinking about that Earlier. Wheels are definitely the expensive part... 

So I sold the ttr225 I had for sale on here, used that cash to go pick up this beaut! It's a 98 WR426F, and it is mean. Runs like a top. These really are amazing bikes. I've got all the paperwork in order to get the street title for it and should have it on the road in less than a week. Only thing missing is wheels... I need a set of 17in wheels that will fit it so I can get these knobbies off of here. Until then, I'll just play in the dirt! 

Somebody sell me their wheels!

Sold. Thanks.

Ha. Glws

I had a thought come to mind, I looked into it but didn't find anything online, has anyone used fiberglass mesh to make parts instead of fiberglass fabric? Im just wondering how it would hold up in comparison.

Apart from fiberglass, carbon fiber, and kevlar, what other materials have people used with good results?

Pretty much yea. I'd be interested in other dirty bikes. 230cc and up or a small street bike. I can throw in some cash for the right offer.

Still for sale! I'm open to offers, found something else I want and need this thing moved! 

I say 29th. We have a Buell Rally in WV on the weekend of the 16th, I have a date at road america the 21st, and the 29th is just perfect. I could do the 22nd also. It will just be tight.

Welcome to ohioland. 

Who's going? I'll be there all day the 11th.

I should be back on two wheels soon. Sadly not in time for this

Early June at the latest.

Had a recent turn of events, my attendance to the event is now questionable.

The race team is still being funded. Hero cough cough.

There is much more going on here. Most likely a hostile business move by hero to score ebr for pennies. Getting their foot in the US in grand fashion.

Just bought myself a deka. Great batteries. Good strong crank in all weather. My last one lasted 7 years with no tender.

I was just on 2 the other day. I forgot how good those ol' kentucky roads are!
