    Waaay back I read the report " The wife, the Ex and the Kid" (https://wilddog.net.za/threads/the-wife-the-ex-and-the-kid.39411/) written by Metaljocky and it planted a seed. That seed grew slowly until Noneking chimed in with his "Northern Namibia with my brother......and a few other clowns"...

    Wider 640 rim in a 501 swingarm

    This is a cross post from the KTM  thread.. In my search for a cush hub I've found a KTM 640 rear wheel (I was expecting only the hub). Has anyone run the complete wheel from a 640? The rim is slightly wider although I don't think by much. I can't check exact sizes as it's not with me at the...
