Caliper relocate bracket should be easy. I bought spoked SM wheels for my FX from Hollywood & regret it- for less money I should have had Woody's Wheels build a set from Zero hubs. The quality I got didn't approach the wheels Woody built for my 990.

what was lacking from them?
I put 8,000 miles on a set of excel/talon 17" wheels with a CR500... but thats not "cheap"...
Ive seen the DRZ guys get good miles from Warp9 wheels.. much cheaper.
I looked up woodys wheels just now, but he wants over 1k just to put a excel rim around my stock hubs...

Spoked SM wheels from Hollywood Electrics were over $2k. Communication was really poor, they didn't ship when promised twice, hardware to install the brackets wasn't included & the rims were badly scratched when they showed up.

The spokes are lighter than on my 19/17 set from Woody's, but I don't trust the zero out of town anymore so don't see these wheels taking much of a beating.
