12" Wheels for the Rattler?

Post by redhandmoto »

Good morning, all.

I see that the Rattler 110 is sold in Canada as the PGO 'Naked' with the 12-inch wheels that the rest of the world gets. I don't own a Rat, and can't take a detailed look, but am wondering if the US version will accept the 12" rims & wheels via a simple starightforward swap without modification?

Eh?

The front rim is a 120/70/12" on the Rattler the rear is a 130/90/10". The front tire is low profile and the rear is a big fat one... aftermarket rims that will work on the Rattler is up for debate...

Hmm. Thanks, good to know - anybody identified a better exhaust than the Prima? That doesn't have to be shipped from Taiwan?

The V8 is much better and is shipped from Guam.

Im having "My" guy talk to "His" guy at MRP http://www.martinracingdealer.com/ and see what the deal is on the Rattler. They do have rollers for the buddy and blur but nothing for the Rattler as yet. The TGB 49.3cc rebuild was done using there stuff. 15,000 miles on the rebuild and all iv had to do is replace the sliders once but need it again. Still will outrun the Rattler on topend, compression is good but slowly dropping. But im very happy with it with the quality of there pipes, very very earplug loud.

I ordered sliders for my Rattler two weeks ago and just found out there on backorder, ha.

Far as rims go a few places might do custom with large price tags.
