I want the additional ground clearance of a 19". <br /><br />Was thinking to mount a spare rear pusher wheel with tire mounted (ala Ural) on top of the cargo box. More weight but easier to swap out than patch and repair a flat on the side of the road. <br /><br />All I know is that the cargo weight will be less than a passenger and their luggage. This is a heavier duty chassis than the regular cargo chassis DMC sells. I may need to add some ballast to keep the chair down.

Tubeless or tubed?<br /><br />How much payload are you estimating for this rig?redlegsrideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10927757855921321097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8208027712659472082.post-88940038513602359702015-04-13T00:24:49.741-05:002015-04-13T00:24:49.741-05:00Good question.

Installed the Eagle Mike subframe upgrade kit to strengthen where it mounts to the main frame. <br />Unfortunately the rig will have three different size tires - a 17, a 19 and a 21".<br />CCjonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16417345400369951250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8208027712659472082.post-91446238635407304882015-04-12T20:03:25.123-05:002015-04-12T20:03:25.123-05:00Looks like a nice setup.

Is the sidecar wheel/tire the same as one of the others on the KLR?RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.com
