So today I went to a place by my house called "larrys bikes" I was looking for some new rims for the KLX. I ended up pulling rims off of a suzuki gs500 hoping they would fit! the front one went on rather well other then the rotor being to large all I need is the relocating braket. I lost my speedo and donnt know what to do. I was thinking of getting the vapor, but how does the cable or what ever work/run. The back rim was wide so i stuck a car jack sideways the bend my swing arm out an inch or so with some spacers it came on nicely. I just dont have back brakes[&:] I do have pics im just not sure on how to post em. I just dont know what to do about the speedo. thanks guys

Well, it's the wrong month for April fools. If you're serious, I'm speechless.

 

lol, the speedo would be the last thing I'd be concerned about. gs500 rimsdo not = sm rims.

 

I wonder what strange crackling noises came from the Swingarm. I so hope this a joke. Reminds me of this other post https://www.kawasakiforums.com/m_283692/tm.htm

 

You'll be right without speedo.
They are over rated IMHO

Just post the pics.
Please.....

 

Just don't even know what to say about this one.....in all my years working on bikes this is a first can't be true no one would try to bend a swing arm to fit a wheel bet the chain lines up real nice[]

 

yea the chain its perfectly staight, it bent so easy with no noises?? its perfectly fine? looks sick....i just dont see the problem here

 

up,
you can fab a parachute out of trash bags and kite string, pack it in your hydropack? when you need rear brakes just deploy the trash bag chute,duh
also you can take the speedo cable and glue it to the end of a WOOD CLOTHESPIN then duct tape the pin to the front fork and insert a bicycle playing card into the pin so that it rubs on the spokes. the vibration from the card rubbing on the spokes will send the speed signal to the dash. use the Ace of Spades for the track and the joker for street! the kewl thing is the card sounds like a muzzy!

good luck with this project,

umm i finished it and it looks and rides a 100% better. I just dont get why you guys have to mock me?
