    If somebody corrects me I will be VERY interested in that news, but no, to my knowledge the G can only use the "mag" wheel on the rear.

      I think somebody said that the Madura used spoked wheels and had a shaft. Might check into that.

        If you find an answer keep us posted for sure. I'd LOVE the option to convert to spoked wheels, just don't think it can be done.

          To use the Madura wheel would require major surgery

            OK, nice to know, but do you have any more details as to what kind of major surgery is involved?

              Cole is in the process of experimenting with a Boulevard wheel. The part numbers match through the series for the spline, its a 15" wheel with a disc, but uses a 170mm rear tire.. will fit by our measurments into the GK rear shaft/swinger assembly.. Might work, might not, but it would be cool if it does...

                Dude, keep us posted for sure, that would be a good option to have out there.
