[dsn_klr650] elden- rim width

[Robert Morgan]

The industry is going to 20 inch front wheels as an option. We can only hope that some beefy tires with lots of sidewall are included among the eventual tire selection. Right now I only use 90/90 21's and install them on 1.85 Takasago Excell rims strung with heavy duty Buchanon spokes. I also use only Bridgestone super-heavy duty front tubes.
