My R is now an X

did alot of stuff to her over winter. mb header pc4 pipe all black plastics traded wheels custom graphics fmf programer lights upgrade. step seat air box mods sure look way better before....

after!!!

I guess it looks good after. Anyway to get those pics a little bigger?

I'm with Trav... I think.

Thread title sounds like an obituary... or more likely, a guy having a sex change operation - "My brother is now my sister".

Sad thing to happen to a WRR, I think... you'll probably get more support over in the X area where they admire such things...

Oh.....The shame of it all.

Naw, I wish I had a X.......along with my R.

looks awesome mate do the r`s and x`s have the same hubs?

I am about to prepare a part time conversion kit myself, which is going to take some more time, unfortunately. I will be riding indoor supermoto in winter and have fun on small paved roads.
What makes you chose those tires? If ever converting it to supermoto style, why not use real road sports tires? I do not get the idea of it. For riding dual sport tires I would prefer cheap WRR stock enduro wheels.

Nope.

Sorry to disappoint everyone I just couldn't afford to keep putting hundred dollar tires on my bike So I figured I would try this and as for the tires when I traded one of the guys on here wheels for wheels that's what were on it..... again sorry You Don't like My bike....

Your bike looks awesome, really. What's the price difference on the tires if you don't mind?

Nah, the bike does look awesome. I'm just a dirt oriented guy is all. You'd probably think my bike was pretty fugly if you were looking at the pictures of it here.

You won't find me critiquing tire selection - I run the stock Trailwings and they work perfectly fine for the dirt and road conditions around here and my style of riding.

You've got a pretty nice ride there for a guy your age. My street bikes at your age were second hand RD350s with basement porting jobs done by guess...

Oh, I like your bike, you can be sure.
Its just I was wondering about the tires since I would pretty much sign Jägers words with the stock trailwings, that I rode even in dirt and mud, which was at least possible. These are nice dual sport tires and I do not see any point in a supermoto conversion as long as you do not fit real sporty tires, which would bring lots of riding fun. I got myself Pilot Power tires which were very cheap that time. Also I have got a great brake system with radial pump and 4 piston radial caliper.
However, due to several incidents I cannot afford the wheels right now, so I need to wait. :)

+1 vote for a good looking bike. Don't forget to remove your Mountain Dew can before you ride it though or you will have a sticky mess... Oh wait...
Nice added character.
