Motard building
Hi
I have a dream to build 2-stroke supermoto bike
to make it true- I bought crm stoke hubs and rims 17x4.25 for rear and 17x3.0 front to my MK2
After that, I faced with a problem to buy spokes, no one can tell me what size of spokes I need (even guys that sell them)
Can anyone tell me what size of spokes I need, maybe place where I can purchase them ( I`m in search process 6 month and can`t get them)
For brakes I plained to buy front disk 310mm with 4-piston caliper from sportbike, radial master cylinder. Rear brakes will be stoke also I will use braided brake lines.
Guys need your advice, maybe some one already done similar changes for their CRMs to make them motards
Hope for your help

Re: Motard building
Wheel builders should know what length of spokes as hubs are basically XR400. Mounting a radial calliper will be problematic and with a 310mm disk and braided lines you might find a 4 piston calliper unnecessary. Best to upgrade master cylinder first.
Re: Motard building
There are no wheel builders in Ukraine, I must to buy spokes and build wheels myself, but what spoke length to buy I can`t find
also, are stainless steel spokes best to buy?
My previous bike before CRM was husqvarna sm610 with 4 piston caliper and 320 mm disk- now I want brakes so cool as was at husqvarna(super brake power with one finger)

Re: Motard building
If you can't get an answer here try XR forums. Stainless steel are easier to maintain but heavier.
