Yeah, I suppose your right the more I look at it, green really only belongs on Kawasaki's. Perhaps that's why I will never, never own a Kwaka.. That and weak gearboxes. Hope not to many people are offended

Found a slightly better green bike, I know, it kinda tears me in two ways, perhaps its the wheels that make me want to look again, and then the colour makes me want to barf..
What do you think?
And for your veiwing pleasure, a V* 2 stroke video.

Actually that colour is, to me, more appealing than the RZ. but they my missus has always said I have no tcolour coordination !!
I've also got a pair of spoked wheels for sale if anyone needs a pair.
The front is a TZ hub, stainless spokes on 18" 2.15 rim.
The rear is a spoked disc type hub from an RD Dx with stainless rims and a 18" 2.5 rim. I also have the rear disc mount and a few other bits.
Both wheels are unused since being built up about 3 years ago as I found some Astralites.

So, I got my TDR rims today and am looking for some advise.
I want to put them on my RZ350 along with
- FZR250 3LN swing arm
- FZR250 2KR forks.
- R6 Rear Shock Conversion
The rims are 18" front and 17" rear. Should I convert the front to 17" or the rear to 18"", like the standard RZ rims.
Standard rim sizes-
Front: xxxx X xx TDR / RZ 2.15 x 18
Rear: : xxxx X xx TDR / RZ 2.50 x 18
Standard tyre sizes-
Front: 100-90-18 TDR / RZ 90-90-18
Rear: 120-80-17 TDR / RZ 110-80-18
The points I need to consider are
- Tire choice
- Rim width
- 17 or 18"
- Interference with chain
-Feel and handling
Quote by Gazzah-
"My vote also for the BT45's in stock sizes 90/90-18 and 110/80-18. Ive also tried Lasertech's with a 120 rear, and although they were good I found that with the wider rear tyre I was on the edge of the front but a long way from the edge of the rear. With the BT45's its more even and the bike feels more agile with the skinnier rear tyre. "
Any advise?
GMU..
