Hi everyone, I am loving my new tenere and ride a lot with my wife on the road, so the stock tyres are great, but I love off-road riding and would like to do some serious Dual sport riding (I have a road legal CRF450X for really serious off-road) but not with the stock tyres. I don't want to really keep changing the tyres and rebalancing the wheels each time, so I am thinking to try and find a set of stock wheels from a breakers. I could put some more off-road orientated tyres and balance those wheels and then when I want to go off-road just swap the wheels, and when i get home swap the original wheels back on. As a plan it sounds great, but when I look for wheels, they seem to be $700+ each which seems to be very expensive to me (I have lots of scottish blood, so short arms and deep pockets!!) and I was wondering if anyone has found a solution. I just looked on eBay and did a WEB search, but am hoping that maybe there are some breakers out there with totaled Tenere's that might be selling the wheels for something more in my price range (about $200-300 for the pair!)? maybe I am just dreaming, so just wanted to ask for your inputs, I was also wondering about maybe increasing the front to a 21" but that would then mean removing the mudguard and playing with the brake lines and will screw up the speedo and ABS (possibly the traction control also, but I plan to turn that off when off-roading!! I turn it off most of the time even when on roads!!).
So any suggestions or ideas..
