Neka you are right, at the very least you will need a spacer/adapter for the front caliper.

I have investigated the motard option & for a set of wheels/spacers/discs etc etc, its about $2k which is a little bit more than a set of tyres costs....

The tyres to fit the original rims are only $250 so slightly more affordable.
