Kymco ZX Wheels fit the Elite SR50?

Post by Snowman94 »

I can get a set of Kymco ZX super fever wheels and tires from a scrapped bike for cheap. Will these fit without ALOT of modifications to the Elite? i dont mind grinding here and there but just wondered if these would work.

I realize the fronts are discs but I wanted to make the conversion to disc in the front anyhow.

I have a kymco zx50 engine on my elite. Those are 12" rims and there is very little chance they will fit on the rear. as for the front, I'm sure the fork swap would be worth it if the price was right.

here is a picture:

How hard was it to adapt the Kymco ZX engine to the Elite? I have a 96 SR50.

Maybe I should just take the engine too! Probably will add a little weight.

Pibbs, I am sure you have pictures on your elite on here with the ZX engine, i will go look but if you have a link, let me know.

Not bad for the work needed to make it work. I like the work you have done alot and they make a stroker crank for the ZX50. I still own a Super9 and have had ZX50s only mildly modded. Also an Italjet dragster - still dont know why I sold that.

I am going to stick with this AF18E, just because I havent really pushed the envelope with these Hondas, yet.
