should i put the xr front forks and wheel on my z50r or will it look dumb with it... should i keep it z50 fat wheeled i need your opinions

SprNtrl · 02-01-2006, 01:48 PM

I personally think it will look stupid and weird. Fat/Solid wheel in the back with a skinny/spoked front wheel. Weird.

I've seen a couple, looks kinda cool, maybe unique is a better word? I have a set of XR75 forks, and was thinking I would run a spoked wheel up front, because it is skinnier.... therefore hopefully will fit between the forks....

Not a fan of the look myself, but to each their own.

I like the look of the wide z50 tripples, hell the wider the better. When it was time to upgrade i even took it wider with the G craft setup.

Im running a 4.0 rim in the back and a 3.5 up front. even with a 120 wide tire ive still got room between the fork legs.

Sure going with the pinner xr is a easy swap out, but IMO its a bad choice.

here is some pics of the wide front setup im running.

The ZB forks are 30 mil forks and the upper tubes are near identical to NSR50 forks. you can fit them in a set of ZB triples, NSR triples, or aftermarket ones for a 30 mil fork. I suggest some G Craft Triples if you can source them and float the bill. Either way your still running a drum brake with that fork setup so it may not be worth it to you.
