Big Rich said:I don't know if they got their reputation because the tread "looks" aggressive and people are expecting performance to match? Either way, there are very few options for a 16" tire- easiest thing for me is to lace in an 18" tire.
So.......Ben. When are you starting a build thread on a dual sport GS500? You know you want to!
Big Rich said:Lacing wheels is actually a LOT easier than people think. If you leave the hub out and put 1 spoke and nipple in the rim, just push the nipple in from the tire side. With pressure on it, it points the spoke exactly where it will be on the hub. And on 36 spoke wheels (any, actually) it's just a repetition the entire way around. And if you do it wrong, you'll find out long before all the spokes are in.
A GS trike, huh? That sounds very very interesting. Be sure to document it for us?

Big Rich said:What you see is what you get buddy. Loud pipes save lives, right?
Kidding. I have a mid pipe and a reverse cone mega for each side with the original baffles installed. When I get the seat done, I will ask Jim to weld up the exhaust for me too.
Unless you would be willing to trade something for your scrambler pipes.......
