I can imagine it probably fits in with bespoke spacers and caliper bracket.. Seeing as xt125 and dt230 ones go in relatively easy..

Thank you Peter I suppose I will just have to wait and see once they arrive I did get quotes to have rims built using my own hubs at a cost of around £220 per wheel but the expense including tyres is almost as much as I paid for the bike.

Yeah they are ment to be here this weekend also been told that I could also fit the dtx from caliper direct fit for supermoto wheels and fit are forks but I personally think that is wishful thinking.

The rear hubs are the same as ttr but the bearings are smaller so I put ttr bearings in and used the standard spacers the front I trimmed the Dt spacer on the left and nothing on the right just ttr speedo drive.

Have also now fitted the Dt front forks they are sprung much better than ttr I got stanless steal 43 mm sleeves made with the 40mm inside diameter to fit dt forks and the wheel is a direct fit.

There already sought after to convert the normal Dt u need the forks aswell I've got tempory brass sleeves in right now but having stanless ones made as Dt fork stantions are 40 mm instead of 43 mm the dtx forks are slightly longer around 35 mm where the spindle goes through so it turns in a lot better and sits nicer in general I'm more than pleased with the finished article I might even give it a wash in all the conversion has cost me 200 pounds and a favor oh and 30 quid for a front tyre.

 I ordered another 5 shorty pipes at the end of May and have already chased our fabricator a couple of times but will probably have to ring next week to get an eta. Some parts of Devon are a bit slowwwwwwwwwww no

Some new pictures engine has just had new piston and top end refresh much more grunt to it now and pulls great in 6th witch it use to struggle with have a few parts on route to completly change the appearance of the bike including a stainless exhaust that a engineer friend is making. Destroyed my back tyre so I can justify buying a new one gone for 150/60r17 Dunlop sport max gp as this is a common upgrade for the Dt wheels also a 110/70r17 for the front same make as rear so will be more updates soon.
