Can find wheels and tires for around 750 on the web. But regearing and adding larger brakes while not needed would make it better. Any idea on the bolt spacing, mine is slated for delivery tomorrow if not.
Also seen the Russians have a 77mm big bore kit out for the 172Fmm, brings the bike to 286cc trying to find a source outside of Iron curtain 2.0 can find the 74mm kit on AliExpress all day long (268cc?)
Sure will be fun to tinker with this bike I had a Wr250r that I sold and miss, then built a street legal pit bike Supermoto but the thing scares me being so small and not very comfortable outside of the neighborhood (yx140.w/z40 on 12" wheels) so I figure I'd buy the templar x and build it out into a sumo but still be able to swap to dirt tires for the occasional trail riding outing.
