Johnny Campbell ran stock wheels on all his Baja XR 650's. He said that by the time you upgrade everything you have a lot heavier set up on a bike they were trying to make lighter. He is kind of good at winning races :-D

Got a bit done frame is cut+ ground engine cases are drilled frame rails are almost fit the only problem I have so far the FMF pipe and silencer don't come close to fitting with the engine pushed up as high in the frame as possible the rear pipe bolt will not come even close the silencer inlet tube is way to long and the mounting tabs are not close to fitting. Not having much fun so far!!!!!

Might have to fab up 2 small mounts to correct fitment issue, I bolted my SH FMF pipe onto the subframe first with about 1.75" aluminum mount than adjusted the motor accordingley and finished it by making a small mount connecting the rear silencer to the rear fender mount. I also trimmed the rear fender down so you can reach it with a wrench...Post some pics of the bike
