Title: Roadracer gone 2-stroke!
Post by: Schutzy on April 24, 2015, 10:45:54 AM: Howdy! I'm Nick from STL, MO! I'm an amateur roadracer and have the sudden urge to get dirty! Kinda weird going asphalt to dirt, but hopefully my skills will transfer over :-D

In 2013 I picked up a blown up 98 cr125 144cc big bore project bike and finally had it finished this Fall! This is a blast to ride as long the stator doesnt fry!

A few months ago I picked up a supermoto project for a great price. 1999 KX500 with low hours. (This thing wont see too much dirt until I learn the ropes... :-P)

I can slap my 120 slick on the front but the rear needs a 150 as i've read. The question is tubed or ghetto tubeless? :lol:

Post by: sandblaster on April 24, 2015, 12:42:01 PM: I'm running a 160 on the back with the help of a 3/16" sprocket spacer.
