HP2 road wheel options...

Wreford Miles · Apr 28, 2014

My HP2 has a Woodys 18in Rear and with the Kawa works forks a Talon hub & Excell rim 21in set up and non standard single disc.

I want to keep these with offroad tyres and get another set for the road, the rear has been sorted and a nice 1200 Adv spoked wheel will be arriving soon (do I need different studs?)

The front is the one that needs some thinking about...

It looks like I will need to stay with a Talon hub so I can run the same disc but do I go for a 17in or 19 in front?

I dont want to change the suspension when I swap wheels around so would a 17in be to aggresive and would I be better with a 19 in

Or should I go 17in because everyone should super moto at some stage in their life?

Thoughts please...

Thank you

That will turn in real quick with a 17" front. Might need a steering damper as well.

I've got the standard supermoto 17in wheel on the front of my HP2, yes it does turn in real quick but there is no need for a steering damper.

One thing I do notice is that once I've run the front for a few thousand miles it starts to turn in quicker, maybe because I've worn off the edges of the tyre.

I'm thinking 19in on the front

I'd go 17 front and have the supermoto set up.
I can probably ride mine quicker like that than any other bike I've ever had.. I even dropped the forks through the the yokes to speed up the turn in.
Great fun on the road

It's a whole lot of fun on the 17"... although it does look kinda odd, such a small wheel on such a big bike...

I have installed the wheels of the Megamoto, better than spoked ones
