Does anybody make other wheel options besides Woody's and ProCycle? Maybe even 17s for street riding ? MT07 wheel perhaps could work. I'm looking at other options as I like to be ale to switch from dirt to street pretty easy I know RAD MFG might be an option in the future but I think that is not going to happen anytime soon.

If you look for the supermoto thread here on the forum Andy has done the conversion with the mt07, it's not as straight forward as it needs spacers and the wheels skimmed down if I remember correctly. 

Other options like mine : original hubs on excel wheels, or give smpro a ring and see if they have an option for you... By now there are plenty of hub manufacturers that sell these and finding rims for supermoto is not hard. 

When you are ready with the rims send me a pm and I could help you out with ABS rings to correct the speedo and have a working ABS. 

It is not a cheap conversion but it is well worth the handling of the bike on the street.

I will look into SM thread I been around sumo for decades now I'm just looking for an easy swap options as for modding mt07 wheels i think it's a option high on my list as i have no problem making spacers etc. also as for the speedo and abs I do not care much about both of them so that is not an issue I guess now I just have to find some mt07 wheels haha Thanx for the input Aleks btw you bike looks bitchin !!!!!

In line with our very popular Low wheel tubeless kits for the Honda Africa Twin, we now have the first set of 19" & 17" wheels to try on our Yamaha T7 Tenere.
This set for testing uses OEM hubs, but we will be CNC machining our own billet hubs, and then they are built with EXCEL rims, gold or black, and heavy-duty stainless-steel spokes & nipples, so completely corrosion-free, and much stronger than OEM.
They will come ready converted to Tubeless, with the well-proven Bartubeless conversion, we have had over 400 of these done to date, no problems, and with a 4 year warranty.
For our testing we have fitted Continental Trail Attack 3's, these proved very good with the Africa Twin, giving excellent road grip, and load carrying capacity.

He is from Rally Raid - they make some of the best products I've seen.

The Dubya USA Excel wheels look awesome.  That will be next years upgrades with proper tubeless setup for me. Dubya's marketing is poor on these wheels, but they are out there!

Ya they do.  I just called them and asked. I spoke with Josh in sales. Like I said before, their marketing is poor but if you look hard enough you will find them.  This is an article I found.  I also talked to my local shop and they said they have a contact at Dubya USA. 

 

https://www.cyclenews.com/2020/06/article/dubya-usa-yamaha-t7-and-older-honda-wheel-sets/

 

 

My wheel setup: 21x2.15 Excel (tubeless anti debead rim) in Black, 18x4.25 Excel (tubeless anti debead rim) in Black both with the Haan red hub, stainless spokes.  I will throw on the Outex tubeless system and Rallz tubeless tires too.

 

All Dubya USA's wheels and products I've owned in the past have been great.  I believe the complete price Josh quoted me was about 2k.

 

I hope this helps, and I'll post up pictures and review on my "bike build"  thread when complete.

 

Cheers

I nearly ordered these last fall, they had a pre-order promo 15% off.

In the end I decided I wasn’t sold on the o-rings at every spoke concept. I know they’ve been doing this for a while but I wasn’t convinced.

@Burner The o-rings are what sold me as the next-best thing to tubeless designs that have no spoke penetration of the rim inner wall at all.  With the “seal over spoke nipples” designs, adjusting spoke tension is a dicey proposition that can break the seal.   Also, if one spoke needs replacement you don’t have to undo the whole system.   Alpina sells replacement spokes and nipples.
 

KTM has been using Alpina tubeless on their bikes and I haven’t heard of widespread failures.  Outex certainly has had many.   If Alpina hadn’t been available I would have gone with Bartubeless.

Yup Alpina definitely has some advantages! I also decided on a narrower rear wheel which pointed me to Bartubeless.

Yep the Alpinas only come in one size, so that totally makes sense.

I just got a set from http://custommotowheels.com

 

HAAN hubs and Excel rims, stainless spokes. Custom laced to my preferred rim sizes (2.6, 1.6 for dirt). They do lots of super moto conversions so I'm sure they can set you up if that's your jam. Priced less than others with the same hubs. They sure are pretty and came with all the hardware to fit stock rotors, ABS rings, and sprocket.

A photo of the wheels. All in <$2000. Rubber on the way. It's -7(f) here with a blizzard so it will be a few months before I can report on the fun.
