Title: hi
Post by: guest1973 on April 08, 2015, 06:35:29 PM: Hi folks thought it was about time I registered on here. I've had a skorpion for a few years now that I doubt I'll ever part with, which led me to buy a baghira that needs a bit of work & bought a ccm r30 a few months ago.

I've had loads of two stroke MZ's in the past and always fancied a Baggie.....

Look forward to seeing you somewhere.

Can you give us a bit of insight into your spoked wheel conversion? Are they Baggy forks/ wheels?

Would be interested. I have a pair of FZR forks to replace the pretty rough MZ Items on my skorp, but not done anything about it yet.

I also think they look great with spoked wheels...

Post by: guest1973 on April 09, 2015, 10:06:07 PM: Andy230 the wheels ate of unknown origin, supermoto of some sort theres no cush drive so can be a bit snachy in traffic. I just measured it all up and had spacers made to suit, the only problem was the rear caliper but it was easy enough once I found a caliper (kx125) then made a new mount/torque arm. Its the best mod I've had on any bike I've had it totally transformed the handling. The grameca wheels are heavy as you probably know. Both spoked wheels are lighter than original front !
