bro, if u really check it out, do update as i am thinking of doing it too. few hundreds bucks versus few throusand dollars for marcheisini rims is still worth it.

drz's are pretty tolerant to abuse. used to bring my sm to tanah merah and punggol for late night off road abuse. lost count how many times i fell. and i got alot of kick out of it (falling).

Please bear in mind the tubeless convertion is not exactly safe to do so on our rims..

 

do consider the Alpina Rims..!!!

bro,

 

do u mind elaborating why it is unsafe to do a tubeless conversion ?

 

 

any guys out here rougly know how much to fix a box onto drz?thanks alot:)

 

depends wat box u looking for. do u want a rack as well ?

 

got my rack for $90 and box for $25 at ah boy.

on the other extreme, HnB rack costs $220 and box up to $550.

 

the choice is yours.

 

 

PS: anyone knows where i can get semi-offroad tyres for the SM rims ?

I know its possible to get th erear tyres...but how abt the front ??

 

am actually very interested in the Avon Distanzia Supermoto tyres... but no one seems to bring them in...not even the distributor Choing Aik.

[chipmunk]

I fixed my box straight to the tailpiece without any rack. Just the baseplate..I think. Box set me aside 35 bucks.

[norishimu]

still considering to put a box on mine... hmmm...

[konspire]

put la, no need to consider. imagine the freedom of walking ard without carrying helmets, can put raincoats n while riding no need to carry the bag on ur back....it's all abt convenience.....

[SparkerS1]

still considering to put a box on mine... hmmm...

 

haha, i have a 42L box, but i prefer not to fix a box:cool:

our rims are not suitable for tubeless as the rims beads does not sit the tyres like sports rims..

further more, the conversions are merely tapes and rubber seals to seal in the air from leaking thru the spokes, thus making it unsafe for usage IMO..

 

whereas Alpina rims uses a totally different spokes and rims retaining your OEM hubs during the conversion.. prince wise abt $2k..

 

and if you are thinking abt going off road, tubes are better as tyre walls flexes during offroad trips and air will tend to leak from there..

 

I guess the only choice is to import the tyres in from a online store..

else Maxxis Goldspeed will be the only "semi-offroad" (their actually rain tyres)tyres for DRZ..

Is there a OEM white seat cover?? dun rem seeing any of it..

you may wanna try to go to Juzzwheelz to do a re-wrap using black cover..

[nineh]

to put or not to put....a box...

its all abt looks vs functionality vs how pampered you are.

 

like for me...bloody freaking pampered already. had a 45L since the day i started riding! haha... but now i compromise a bit lah... 16L box...

 

nuff for one raincoat set, one riding jacket, gloves and other small misc stuff.

hmmm..I see. thanks for the bro. learnt something new again!

yea i know tube tyres are definitey better for offroad riding, they are a bloody pain in the bottom to change when kena puncture lah!!

 

i think if your not gonna be doing any hardcore off roading...then tubeless shd be fine.

 

now gotta look for more affordable alternatives for tubeless rims.

maybe retrofit a sports rim ?? 3 spoke cast wheel ? hmmm....
