My concerns changing my mags rim to spoke:
1. Hubs availability for the spoked rims, I heard for thunder there aint available.
-is there any other brand of motorcycle hub we can used for such project?
2. Disk brake is located oddly in the left side contrary to most bikes.
-using other motorcycle brand parts would be okay, mechanic doing modification and all is it safe?
3. Planning for a 2.50 width rims for the rear, can someone suggest me a nice width for the front rims here.
-I had it in mind, using the same width for the front would really be ugly looking plus I don't think the mud guard would fit on it.
4. Changing the sprocket from 45 to 47. (standard even in cars are 45)
-I am aware of this things, 44 below sprockets mean faster running, but it would loosen its strength in uphill runs, slow start from full stop and is slow on when in having full load(ankas) for the bike. 45 above means more power it can push us from full stop, more power to for heavy loads (changing wider rims and wider tires are heavy), great for uphill runs... but will lessen the speed in flat roads at full speed.
I am no multicab mechanic but I have some knowledge. 7-45 differentials are used for high geared suzuki multicabs "7" as the hint. 6-45 differentials are used for low geared multicabs ("6" as a hint for low gears)... great for climbing and commonly used in 4x4 suzuki multicabs. I know someone using 7-39 for their multicabs (at full load) and it really runs way faster in flat roads but you can easily noticed the engine hanging in for dear life in uphill climbs.
try nkog ask k2ng nka modify ug thunder namo bro. I think, he can address all your concerns.
