Zongshen 200GY-2: 21-inch Front Wheel Conversion

[cloudrider]

Hello Spud,

Will the Roketa DB-07A(RSX-200E)(LXY), 21" front wheel fit the Zong Sierra 200? You mentioned you purchased one in '09 but ended up lacing another one yourself. Did the Roketa wheel not fit on your bike? Did it come with the hub and the brake disc? I am thinking on ordering one to replace my original front wheel for a 21". The problem is that with an 18" on the back, and the same on the front, I am constantly sliding forward on the seat. Maybe the bike was not designed to be on supermoto configuration. So, i am hoping that with a 21" on the front, the seat will be better level.

Thanks for you help!

The Roketa, DB-07A front wheel uses the same front hub as the Zongshen 200GY-2 (Sierra). Therefore, the DB-07A front wheel will fit the Zongshen motorcycle. I could have mounted the Roketa front wheel to my bike, but I wanted a lighter, alloy rim; that's why I laced a Warp9 rim to the hub.

If you check the Roketa website you will discover you can buy the complete front wheel, minus the brake rotor. If you don't want to transfer the brake rotor from your current wheel, you can also buy a new brake rotor from Roketa.

Thank you very much Spud for clarifying this information for me. I will order the 21" front wheel from Roketa. I figure I will need to extend the kickstand now too. I will post some pics once it is done. My Zong Sierra is going strong and I am always amazed how good this bike is. Thanks again for providing so much support for us the Zong Sierra owners.

Take care a happy rides!

Does anyone know where I might be able to find these spokes? I have a rim, I just need the front spoke set for my '06 Qlink XR200.

Is the Zongshen Sierra 200GY-2 still available? I like the way it looks and I'd like to check one out.
