Been had the ol 08E in her enduro stance long enuff.

So I finally fished for long enuff on eBay and scored some stock
Behr 17s w/rubber for about $740. Good score.

Been riding her on the 17s for a lil' bit now. Took some
adjusting, but I like it.

Did you have trouble switching from 21" to 17" on the
speedometer? Any tips beyond what's in the go-by listed on this
site? Looks great BTW. Where'd you get your rims and how much
did they run you?

Yeah I hope to do the same later this year, I'd like to know
what issues you ran into or what needed to be altered for the
conversion. Any thing need to be relocated? New wheel spacers?
adapters for brakes/rotors? Anything? :-\

When I mounted up my wheels I did a spin test front and back and
found the front to be more troublesome. I didn't have to cut the
fork guards at all, but I did have to secure the brake
line/speedo sensor lines to the fork guard itself. The wheel
woulda worn through the lines in short order. So all I did was
drill two small holes next to each other and warbled the out a
bit so a thick zip-tie could fit. Next problem took me a bit
longer to figure out and fix. I rolled the front during the
initial fitment and heard a very light grinding noise. Didn't
figure much of it since a new rotor was being used. Well, I'm
sure this was part of the noise, but turns out the new rotor
bolts were chewing up the speedo sensor. Crap! Didn't find this
out till I tried recalibrating the wheel size and I ended up
taking off the front wheel. Turns out the sensor was salvagable
and all I had to do was grind the bolt heads down a bit with my
dremel. So the fitment didn't bring too much trouble my way,
just spin those wheels and listen fer wierd noises. ;)
