I want a BMW GS650 for my enduro. Simply the best.
Ive got a dr650se. Its highly modded and does ok but its 370 pounds.
I want either a husky te250/310 or a wr250r for woods stuff.
There is something to be said for lighter weight enduros. They just get through anything with ease. Plus when you lay them down they are easy to pick up. Last time i had my dr out i had to pick it up 6 times and it was a bitch EVERY time.

Wheel repair?wasnt m3 said:
Not sure that I'd really want to run fill-n-drilled wheels on anything I really drive a lot or drive hard.
Curious as to what it typically costs though. I'd imagine you'd be able to buy correct wheels after factoring in the cost of wheels plus the fill and drill.
depends on the wheel....
a set of 4x100 16" RS are pretty ridiculous expensive vs. 16" 5 lug RS. Sending the centers for fill and drill is relatively cheap. Rotiform and Memoryfab do this competently. If its a center you could ship pretty cheap Id send it out to Memoryfab most likely. But im looking to put single piece wheels on my car and shipping them would not make sense.

Road America? ALMS....rampelsauce said:
What about vintage weekend guys? Thats coming up soon.
THought that allready happened...
Shit guess not... July 12-15. I'll probably go either Saturday or Sunday. Advance tickets are 40/each deadline 7/05/12.
Seen a bunch of porsche 917's up there for that weekend. Usually ALMS is training that weekend too and there are a bunch of Prototype cars doing track testing. Its def worth a go. Best weekend apart from ALMS IMHO. I somehow thought it allready happened. I guess I was thinking about the spring vintage... I'll post up what day i'm going when i figure.

BMW MotorradI was on a dual sport ride a few week ago, mostly pretty hairy single track. About 200 miles of it. There was a guy in front of me ripping on a bimmer. I was on a Husky te310. We kept passing each other all day long spraying dirt in each others face. hahaha it was awesome.

The RS would cost you well over a grand. And I meant freshly. If you run adapters you would need a ton of fender work to fit style 5 splits. On a 5 lug swap it wouldn't be bad.
Yeah not sure what to do... decisions decisions. I think my wheel whoring days are pretty much over. My euroweaves look nice, but im just not too fond of 15" on the e30, I ran several sets back in the day. But I never ran 16" and I think 16 or 17" would be perfect. More towards 16 though.
Also question for those who know. The 16 and 15" BBS RS shared the same size faces correct? You have to step up to a 17" RS to get a bigger face...???

Road America? ALMS....let me know if anyone hears about a ticket promotion. If i do i'll post up.

Flush Mount Valve Stemssomeone said:
Those would be it:) and i have a friend with a feebly refinished set of 16" style 5's that he is selling.
feebly as in weak? Or was that a typo....
I might be interested in them... how much? are they still 5x120?
for what its worth i was thinking of putting the style 5 splits on the e30 but I guess from what people say a fender roll is not good enough... you have to get fenders pulled, if you are running spacers. (im on 4x100).
The cost of a 5 lug swap is more than I would want to spend. I would rather just buy nice 4x100 RS for the price of 5 lug + wheels.

Flush Mount Valve StemsIm thinking 16" style 5 single piece wheels. Kinda OEM+ look.
They also have stems on the lip though, so flushmounts would be good for that wheel as well. I assume you are doing e39 two piece style 5's?

any known custom exhaust shops??this sounds about right....
