Okay the more I research getting a Plate (street legal) for my 91 K5. the more Im looking into motoard stuff....

Few questoins. sorry if they have been asked.... but Im going to spout them off anyways.

1. I read that guys lower the suspension travel etc by 2"....  Do any of you do this? or do you juts slap on Moto wheels and go?

2. Bigger brakes? How badly do you need them over stockers? 

3. Will a 5"x17" wheel fit in the swing arm of the K5.

4. Will you guys bail me out of jail when I get pulled over for terrorizing Southern California on a Stewart Powered  Ex Jeff Ward Factory Kawasaki  Kx500 Supermoto durring the week, so I can go desert race it on the weekend??

# 1  I plated my 04 K5 for riding between the trail heads.  We are on the road from 3 to 20 miles at a time.  Since I use it for off road I did not lower the bike.

# 2  The bigger brakes are for racing super motard.  It's a drag race between corners, you know go fast then slam on the brakes over and over again.  I have not had any problems with the stock brakes on the street.

# 3  The chain becomes an issue before the swing arm.  I'm running a 17" x 3.50 D.O.T. rim with a 150 / 70 17 D.O.T. TKC 80 dual sport tire made by Continental.  It's 5 and 3/4 inch wide at the widest point.  The tire fits the swing arm but hits the chain by about 1/8th of an inch.  Some say they lace the rim off set to clear the chain.  The weather has been great for riding this winter in Okla. City.  With the AJ built KX500AF my projects have been put on hold.  I'm having to much fun to work on the other bikes.  When I get back to the dual sport project I plan on removing the chain and having someone spin the wheel as I grind the left edge of the tire.  I have a big hand held grinder with a 9 inch disk.  By spinning the wheel I hope it removes an equal amount from the edge that hits the chain.

# 4  Yes!  But no weekend desert ride because you must put the bike up as collateral.  Of course I will ride your bike to keep it in tip top shape for when you pay me back.
