How much was the conversion?
East Coast Wheels (eastcoasthweels.com) has various levels on conversion. My base started with the "Warrior Kit" $1700 +/-. Then things can escalate like in my case. Carbon fiber this, carbon fiber that. . .etc. Now the damn bike looks like the Team Honda bike McGrath raced at the X-Games. All I need are the exotic Marchesini wheels (another $1700).
This all started with my not wanting to wear my knobbies out on the street, besides their very limited traction on asphalt. As a diehard motocrosser for many, many years, now turned off roader (dabbled with sportbikes too), supermoto always intrigued me. With the likes of Wardy (Same age as me!! We used to against each as kids in Southern California) and Henry, I couldn't resist to try it out. OHHHHHHHHH MAN what fun!!!!!! The most fun I've ever had on the street and track, especially "backin' it out" (sliding the back end waaay out). Just as much fun as it is on the dirt!!
