So a bunch of buddies and myself are going to undertake a road trip from Virginia to Deadhorse AK. My ride is an 05 FZ6 with many mods. I took this bike from VA to San Francisco CA and back a few years ago, has about 12k on it. It is minty condition but since then I have installed R6 Forks, R6 brakes, Marchesini rims, Two brothers, Ohlins, modded fenders etc. It is setup for the street...but...I was looking at buying a used GS for the Alaska trip and trying to decide if I can turn the FZ into a dual sport. Wanted to know if anyone had installed spoked wheels? Will Yamaha Super Tenre wheels fit, any others, anyone else done this? Need a good set of dual sport tires, rear fender and some paniers that allow for two up riding. Even if I had to spend 2-3k to get the bike ready for the trip, it would be a savings vs. buying a used GS or some other dual sport for the journey.
Anyone do this?
