I dont understand the haters. Are they just wanting to hate? Or do they have a genuine concern for my safety when riding this motorcycle with a 16'' front wheel? At the end of the day, we are talking about a bike with 239cc's and between 17-20rwhp depending on which model. Really that dangerous? I have seen many bikes with a 16'' front wheel, even race bikes. Even down to 15''! So I am sure it will be no problem The front end of this try hard chopper (stock) has so much rake in it that dropping the front end and raising the rear will improve the handling capabilities anyway. Also, if you are ever interested/wanting to check tyre comparrisons, check out this comparison tool. It even has a visualiser which is really neat. The diameter difference between stock and the new tyre are not much at all https://www.tacomaworld.com/tirecalc?tires=90-90r19-120-90r16As for the spokes, it was a percentage calculation I did to get the right lengths and angles. I messed it up once but then adjusted and ordered again. Now they are perfect. Thats the way R&D goes I guess. I will be selling these spoke kits on a webstore soon if you are interested? I could send you one of the first kits that I get?
Thanks for the support/interest. I am just confirming some final changes then the exhaust headers will be ready for sale. I will be able to sell them for around 145euro - which is around the price you would pay for a header for the SR400.

Except I personally know my supplier and the materials and processes he uses, rather than ordering from a factory on the other side of the world where I cannot control the quality or the materials
I finished shaping up the foam of the seat and covered it with a thin sheet foam to smooth things over. I like this shape a lot more than the last. When I start production of this seat I will tweak it slightly once again - just some of the angles are not quite right. Also saw a seat I like the look of so will take that picture to the upholsterer.
