.....now I have a MORAD 5,00" rear rim (look at www.extremeriders.com an Italian store for supermoto special parts) on a 1999 cr500 Af and as the swingarm is like that crf450..........I'd like to fit an Excel 5,50".
I'm undecided :headscrat black or gold with talon gold hubs????

What triple clamps are you using? (they look like a brand here in NZ called Scar).

Hi richieB, thank you for your answer....you have a beautiful bike but also your dog is very cool :clap: !!!!!!!
I have a 5" too(Black), but I'd like to fit a 5,50" Excel.
Now my bike is with white /yellow plastic :headshake ,but because I don't like it, in a future will be all black.....
For this reason I'm undecided if buy Gold or Black Excel :headscrat
Probably still black......
Ciao from Italy and BUON NATALE(Merry XMas)

I don't know about the CR500, but I have seen a 5.5" with a 170 Avon slick wedged into a CRF. It is very very tight, and you need to offset the countershaft sprocket and run a non-oring chain.

Rich, do you have a bent subframe? Your fender looks off in the second pic above.

Hi, thank you for your answer...
My bike has the same swingarm of crf450 and so I can fit 5,50 rear rim.
I have to do many modifications but I think to know all what I have to do.....
I'd like to explain all the operations but my "english" is very rusty ...... :damn:
:headscrat
I have to:
1) assemble the rim moved to right
2) turn front chainwheel upside down (the front chainwheel's tickness must to be inside....)
3) put a 2,5 or 3,5mm (I don't remeber) thickness under rear chainwheel so the chain will be moved to left
4) modify chain guide and swingarm cutting a piece of chain guide mounts
5) mill rear brake's braket ..........

Ciao
