Yeah, I grew mine. He doesn't ride much with me these days, as he's busy growing his own. But he buys his old man lunch every now and again.

I wanted to put tubless wheels on my bike for riding to and from work. It's expensive from what I found, with alot of custom machining. There is a company in Australia that is putting cast wheels on KLR's but the name escapes me at the moment. My .02 would be to buy wheels off a salvage bike (or even the whole bike) that arent bent, it'll cost less then aftermarket. And I'm not even sure there is an aftermarket hub for the KLR. -Rich in Newberg OR On Mon, Jul 12, 2010 at 8:51 AM, fasteddiecopeman fasteddiecopeman@ yahoo.com> wrote: Sylvain, DON'T bother - run your Can-Am 175 for any trail riding!

I got some good feedback on my question regarding finding/purchasing a second set of wheels and you like to thank the group but yet to get a final solution. If you have expeinec or ideas please feel free to share them with me. I'm also curious to know if anyone has installed  a 140/80-17 rear tire instead of the recommended 130/80-17 and if there was inteference issues with the swing arm. Cheers ;- )
