Default Guerilla Conversion

I'm gonna begin my process of converting my Iron 883 into the Guerilla (pics attached below). The maker of this bike is very picky about who he responds to for buying the parts used, so I'm wondering if anyone knows of a place to buy some of the major parts for the conversion, primarily the wheels and tires.

Tanks cool, but I don't really see anything that would be hard to find or fabricate there

His parts are also way expensive. If I'm not mistaken someone here contacted him about pipes and a tank. Tank was about $900 and pipes were like $1200 if I remember correctly.

Maybe my search keywords are wrong. Looking for tires, wheels, and whatever other hardware will be necessary to make the conversion.

the wheels look like stock iron wheels dude. the tires look like some old school coker's. shouldn't be too hard to find. check out summitracing for the tires, just picked up some old school firestones up from them myself.

btw-welcome from the 215.

It has mid glide trees and the wheel was machined to fit. In stock form they fit a wide glide but not a mid glide. It's a stock rear wheel.

I've machined those wheels before and it's stupid to do. Just because you see pics of something someone did doesn't mean it works or is safe.

Now, if you don't mind wide glide trees to run that wheel it'll just be a bolt on deal.

The tires are Beck...hard to find but there are plenty others that are similar.

I could continue about the minor mods that make up that bike but you only asked about the wheels & tires.

And BMX, check out these tires. I think they're the same ones Summit sells, no?
