FRONT FORK LEGS.....

[sniper_eds]

[/size] hi to all members..
i had a problem with regards to rims... im planning to install rims to my sniper same rim as suzuki raider 150 (RCY rim) and im looking for that kind of rims here in cebu, phil. but still i couldnt find one for almost 2 months... is our front fork legs same size as the honda wave 125 front fork legs?? coz im planning to replace the front fork legs with honda wave 125 fork legs so i can install RCY rims if i couldnt still find any RCY rims for my sniper.... or do you have any idea how to modify the front RIMS inorder to fit the xrm or 125 RCY RIMS... coz we have smaller front axle than honda... or do you have any shops near by that sells rcy rims, pls ask for me their contact #s so i can make an order... THNKS

bro

if you can find raider150 rims, i think it should fit with our stock fork.
if theres any difference, it might be with the axle rod.
but again i dont have idea about raiders rim..

if theres difference in size of axle rod, you can have the raiders rim
replace the bearing to fit with yamah sniper axle rod

 

[sniper_eds]

what about RCY RIMS (10 spokes same design as the rims of raider as shown in the picutre) for Honda wave or xrm coz their are no avilable rims same as suzuki in suzuki dealers, do you have any idea how to install it? wave and xrm had bigger front axle than sniper...

 

[sniper_eds]

bro traxx, can we convert our stock front fork legs into a aftermarket honda front fork legs? coz if i cant still find any RCY RIMS for sniper, i rather change my front fork legs with honda front fork legs so that i can buy a RCY RIMS for honda... is HONDA wave and SNIPER front fork legs have same diameter?

bro eds

it would be much economical if you will just change the Bearing in the rim
than changing the fork.

im sure there are bearings that will fit with raider mags and snipers axle rod.

Instead of changing a bunch of stuff and doing all kinds
of mods, just get some mags from www.daiichialloy.com.
I have a set on my bike, the are light weight, and fit just
like stock mags.

guyz, what brand do u prefer?! enkei or daiichi!?... for magz

sniper eds.... you are goin to install raider 150 mags in your sniper... you are goin to use the rear disc??? if you are goin to change the frontfork then you are also goin to change the caliper.. coz the snipers caliper is not goin to fit... and by the way how about using x1r mags.. i've seen one available and it's quite expensive but all the components are already there.. rear caliper, swingarm, mags. ride safe..

 

[unlimited express]

any ideas how much those X1R mags costs? Its very rare here in my place. but I like to have one of those someday so I can upgrade to rear disk braking system.

last time i checked it was about 19 thou... but now i dont know it they still have it..

 

[stephen_b]

Why don't you check Daniel Goff, he can supply Daytona rim sets
for the Sniper complete.

 

[goff_d_p]

no, not anymore, the cost was astronomical. $500 for the set not including the shipping. just way too much.

any local Daytona rims are not original. I had the website from the factory of the Daytona rims in Japan, and they only sell 3 spoke rims, not the Rossi style rims

 

[chat_master08]

wheels??? $500???? that's too expensive..

 

[goff_d_p]

yeah i know, thats why i don't sell them anymore, no sales

 

[sniper_eds]

is there any raider rims replica availabale in your place??? can you tell me their contact #s??? i want to buy rims for snipers same as raider design coz i dont want to make some modification. i want just plug and play

 

[goff_d_p]

i can look around
