Hey guys, new to this forum, but I've been reading it constantly since I decided to finally do an XS project.
I'm searching for rear wheel options. I've decided for sure to do a 19/19 build, but I am going back and forth between the stock mags (front on the rear) or to lace up some wheels. I'm pretty sure I don't wanna run the XS front hub in the rear with that Omar kit, and I don't want to run a standard wheel laced to a 19" rim since I want to run a disc. I was toying with the idea of trying to adapt a YZ450 or some other dirtbike hub - nice and wide, and light.... but there's no cush drive. Anyone think this may cause tranmission or driveline issues on a street bike that won't be losing traction frequently like a MX bike does? I have a supermoto bike that obviously has no cush, but that's a race bike that doesn't see a ton of miles.
Any reason not to do this?
