Re: 14 Inch Wheels
I have only seen one bike with 14 inch wheels and it is a knock-off<---(cheap chinese honda wannabee).
I have never seen a Honda 50 with 14 inch wheels . I will say that they will NOT work on a stock honda xr50 .
Sometimes you will have a problem with a 3.50 inch street tire , or a real tall 3.0 tire on a 10inch rim on the rear rubbing because of the diameter .
So putting a 14 inch wheel and tire on the back will definately not work with the stock swingarm .
Here is the pic. of this super weird looking knock-off with 14 inch wheels . This bike is completely different from a Honda . From the Forks to the Rear swingarm . It is just plain ugly to me . But it is stuntable .
NOTICE HOW LONG THE SWINGARM IS !! To get that 14 inch wheel on your Honda , you would have to change the swingarm . Then you would have to change all the brake linkage , buy a longer chain , etc. , etc. , .Definately not worth the hassle .
For the front , you might have to change the forks and the hub to get it to fit . Again , not worth the hassle .
Remember that this is a Knock-off pic. . THIS IS NOT A HONDA MOTORCYCLE . Those wheels on ebay are probably for chinese fiddys .
CLICK ON THE PICTURE FOR A LARGER IMAGE . WHEN THE LARGER PICTURE COMES UP , YOU CAN ENLARGE IT A LITTLE MORE IN THE LOWER RIGHT CORNER OF THE PIC.
