Default A new look for my klx

This summer i did so much street riding i used up my dirt tire's,
so i thought i would go with a supermoto set up,i started with rim's that i got off ebay
from Japan ,then the bike went to MotoWorld in Maple Ridge for tire's,120/70zr17 on the front and 150/60zr17 on the rear, a 320mm front rotor and stainless steel brake line.
It's like a completely different bike now, it sits a little lower, so much smother on the road
and corners like a dream.
My riding will still be mostly off road but i doesn't take long to change wheels.
if i do this right I'll post some picture's

Oh ok, you had me worried, I thought you were totally defecting to the street. I still don't like the way our bike looks with those small tires, but hey if you like it, then I like that you like it.

You have a good eye, yes it's a 450 headlight, it's the result of a small incident last year.

Hey deej don't worry, i would never give up spending time with my kid's playing in the dirt.
But that said it is so nice not having the handlebars vibrate all the time, on long trips
my hand would go to sleep, and not just that since i put the wheel's on my timing chain has stopped rattling go figure...lol
