The Strada's has 19" front wheel, and could still do with a stabilizer. With the 17" frontwheel, you have better roadtyre options.
A tired looking set of hubs would cost twice that on this side of the pond. At the risk of being too sensible I've gone with 17/19. I've ordered a set of GS650G cast wheels in factory black (same wheels as the Strada I believe) from a breakers. I'll stick Metzler Tourance Next tyres on them I think.
Can you tell me the model # of the scorpion exhaust? That is likely going to be my next modification. Did you replace it on both sides or just the one? The bike looks awesome and I am sure it performs much better on the road and in twisties!
I went with both sides as I didn't want it to be too loud. Those are stainless Scorpion Serkets. I don't have an exact model number. I picked them up from two different sellers on ebay, they where ex display (fixed to a cardboard stand for a season) without hardware. 100GBP each delivered. Approx 2" length of pipe, 2" OD reducing to 1 3/4 ID for the link pipe and a stainless threaded rod connector as the hanger spacer.
Yep the bike looks fantastic! Thanks for sharing! I'm tempted to get my Strada wheels painted black as well. I'd also like to buy a spare seat and shape the rear of the seat so that it is tapered and flush with the rear cowling - basically like a standard enduro seat. I think it would give it more of a svelt dirt bike look.
