Megamoto 80 - What is the narrowest wheel to fit on the 6" rim?

#1
Looking to utilize the bolt on front brake kit from go power sports but I'd like teh narrowest wheel possible so it appears more like a "drag bike" and less like a balloon wheel off roader.

I know if won’t be very narrow and I could use another wheel, but then I don’t’ have the right spacing and disc for the brake kit.

The suspension forks are alum. So I can’t MIG weld to them easily to make my own brackets and such for a universal brake easily.

That is what I have now. But the the "bolt on" front disc brake kit from go powersports won't align correctly with that.

Was weighing the possibility of just running a factory 6" wheel setup VS modifying the brake mount kit. Forks are cast alum, so not easy for me to weld brackets on. Wasn't sure how tall/thin of a tire fits the factory wheel. I don't have to have a skinny up front. Was just curious what the narrowest and tallest tire is for the 6" wheel as I never see them.

need quite a bit more stopping power than I have currently.

Wish I could. “brake regen” works great. I run it on many of my other bikes. But this chassis relies on a spring loaded chain tensioner and not a sliding rear wheel or motor mount. So you can’t activate “regen” with a tensioner. Maybe if I ran one of those solid tensioners with the gear on them. But that will put a lot of stress on that part when braking.

Also with the speeds this thing is capable of, relying on regen to slow me down is risky. Regen won’t work with a fully charged battery and can be finicky. I’d like to get a good solid brake up front for safety and redundancy is all. You’d think disc brakes up front would be a thing on these. But aside from go power sports. I haven’t seen anything.

I could pull the struts off and take them in to have some brackets tig welded on the alum. Was just hoping to avoid that.

Yes, please post pictures when you come up with something.
If I understand you correctly, you plan to mount these collars on your lower fork and weld a caliper bracket onto them, and mount a caliper that will work with your current wheel/rotor?
I like the idea and I will be waiting for pictures.
