Hey guys, I've been poking around for a little while with a bunch of searches and can't seem to find too much. I am going to, slowly, build a flat/ street tracker out of my bike. I really like the gold wheels they used to put on dirt bikes in the 80's and 90's, so I was thinking of getting a set for my build. I found some on fleabay but would really like to get some Excels. Along with this I want to wrap them in dual sport tires.
So:
1) Will it be hard to change my 16" spoke and drum rear to an 18" spoke and drum?
2) What length spokes will I need or is there any sort of formula to figure this out? On one of my searches I saw someone suggested Buchannan's, but they seem expensive.
3) What are the widest tires that you can put on an '80 Special II without a lot of modification?
4) Does anyone know if the Excels are street legal, or does it not matter?
Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions!
