HOW wide a front rim can you go and keep stock rocker c front forks etc....I don't wanna spend 3k to put rims on, this bike keeps going UP AND UP, and I don't see a end game, and ill sell to some punk kid for like 7k thats the KILLER

You can run a 3.5" rim and a 120 tire on a Rocker with the stock fork set up, the problem will be finding a fender to go over it, unless you center the wheel between the forks.

can you do me a favor and measure the turbine front rim total width? theres also these cone spacers? I was told you cannot run a front rim without spacers, it won't turn etc...the guy did the breakout cvo rims, and changed forks etc, we talked last night, nice guy., he's on here

You can, and I do run a 120mm tire on my Rocker with a 3.5" rim, and the stock fork set-up. BUT, NO, you can't use the Breakout Rim... I just measured both, and the hub on my Rockers wheel from Southern Motorcycle Works is only 4.25" wide from the inside of the rotor to the right side of the hub. The Breakout gasser wheel, which I think is the same size as the turbine, is 6.25". You only have 5.75" total space between the forks to work with on the Rocker, and you still need spacers and the rotor added to the 6.25"...So yes, you will need new trees, and a new axle to use the turbines...

Need to use wide glide trees to fit breakout rims on rocker . You keep your forks. U will need special axle too because rocker lower fork legs are different than breakout. Whoever you get the trees from should also have the axle. Mine did. Ribufinni. Also Thunderbike does and HHI. Mueller has nice looking trees also

The rear wheel will bolt right up without any modifications, same wheels spacers and everything.

For the front, I went with HHI wide glide triple trees and their custom axel. You will use the same forks.

as far as spacers for the front wheel, the stock Breaksout spacers should work. Your new front end should have the same measurements as a stock Breakout front end.

You will need a new front fender. I ordered a blank front fender for a 21 inch wheel (I forget where I got it from). Once I got the fender I cut it to the shape I wanted it.

Sounds complicated but it’s a very simple mod.

Thats all there is to it.
