Flipped Rims on a 250EX?

[Extremerider]

I have a 250EX and every 250 i look at has reversed front rims. Is this hard to do?Whats the advantage of doing this?Will you still have front brakes?

it makes your bike wider is why they do it, but dont this is not the way to widen your quad, it will put so much pressure on your tie rods etc, and also if you were riding hard the bumpsteer would increase alot, its a cheap fix and it is the half ***** way to widen your quad, but it works that way also

yes you would still have front brakes, if u was going to do it i dont know u might have to drill a hole for the valve stem i dont know but it would not be hard to do , its just the totally wrong way to do it

Yeah, I did it on my old 250, Just make sure you relocate ur valve stems, my got ruined by it. But it did make my quad look nice, lol.

i ride on rocky trails would this be a problem and how would i relocate my valve stems?

The previous owner of my 300ex did this, with the trails i ride my hands would be asleep within 15 minutes of this setup, and bump steer was rediculous! I have since put it the way its supposed to be and i can ride all day now with no numbing of the hands
