ok i seen you have beadlocks for sale. is that the only ones you have? will the stock dunlops on a ltz400 fit on your 9" beadlocks? ( most of the wheels say they are 9x9, and our stock wheels are 9x8). might be a dumb question, but didn't know for sure. AND... i guess a pair would be $240 - $24(10% off) = $226.

yeah your factory tires willl fit on 9" beadlocks. i have a set and love them. the only thing that you might want to do is change the washers that come with the beadlocks cause the ones that he gives you tend to rust

is it worth the hassle to buy them from him if you have to turn around and buy washers from another joe schmo? (if you dont like rust) man i hope my z gets done this weekend! i havent rode for almost 2 months. and i am on shutdown from work for two weeks, starting friday. i'm going to get the new itp holeshot hd - 20x10x9's.

its not really that hard to change the washers. you have to take them off anyway when you put on your tires. i think that its worth the time, who wants to ride on a bike that has rusty washers

what i meant to say why pay X amount for them from him and go buy a set of rings from someone else. why not buy the tires from someone else to begin with. that way you wont have a set of rusty rings laying around. even if burgard is cheaper, when you spend more for rings, is it worth it? i didnt get my bike this weekend. they had to order a shim for the hotcam on thursday last week. i'm keeping my fingers crossed it will be done by friday.

What dirtdigger means, The washers that come with the bead-locks rust not the
locking ring itself.... the bolts and washers that come with the bead-lock wheels
are steel and steel tends to rust when exposed to H2O.

ok. well the carb will not fit to a stock z setup. i would have to run an open airbox. so if any one is interested in it. let me know. bought for $295. will sell for $250. other that that it runs great. i can tell alittle with intake cam, but just changed the oil for the second time for break in.

I'm almost thinking about buying some of your beadlocks. I want to get the 8x8's, so what size tire should I get?

well it all depends on what kind of riding you do. if your an mxr you;ll probably want 18's. if your ride woods you'll want 20's but if your gonna ride woods you probably want to go with the 9 x 9 's some of my friends have the 8's and they tend to get more flats because the tire likes to roll hence cutting the sidewall
