KLE 500 Wheel/tyre
 

I have only owned this bike for the past 2 months and to be honest i do like it better than i thought i would of(1995).However the rear tyre is close to the limit but have been given a like new bridgestone one.I was wondering is it save to changer it from a tubed to one without one?? Also ive seen many on the web people who have done a front wheel conversion for a smaller wheel.Is this an easy thing to do and whats the best way to go about it.Like to get this done now b4 the winter months come as im building a workshop in the garden to do a complete strip and rebuild as the frame is looking worse for ware but solid

Spook,
I hope you know by going to a smaller diameter front wheel, your speedo may no longer be accurate? Front guard may look a little odd with a smaller wheel/tyre combo sitting under it. Also if you intend taking it off-road,you may be jeapodising some much needed ground clearance.

Ive got the speedo issue sorted,the front mud guard will be put under the light.I dont intend to take it off road at all anyway.Ive seen this done a few KLE's now and i like the look of it.Just no real info on how its done

How did you get round the speedo issue mate.

As for the rear tyre im not sure you can get a tubeless tyre on a spoked wheel so you'll need to put the tube in.

I will be getting around the speedo problem by making a custom plate to house a digital speedo unit(universal type).I seen a kle done on a web before that i liked the look of KLE 500 supermoto / sumo umbau : Zinus

I really like the paint job - 1 colour and no stickers.
