ALthough it is funny, it's a debated subject on the DRZ400sm if running a rear tire on the front.

I would and will, I just need a 2nd front tire. Would you??

I would but remember it has to be mounted opposite from the rear wheel if it is directional. I plan on doing such to the Uly just as soon as I have some time to get new trees that are wider.

I like it, but then I am riding a street bike in the gravel pits too.

I believe some people have done this with TKC-80s on a Uly. They just shaved off some of the knobs that hit the forks during rotation. Seemed to work pretty well for them.

Any rear wheel knobbie will work Noevo, But prob want to try a 110/17 rear a lot of places make them.

Just remember cornering ability is drastically reduced, especially in the rain. DOn't try to drag a knee.

The TKC-80 130 will not work. I tried it and it did function for about 1000 miles and then it started rubbing the side wall not the knobs. I have a cheinshing 4.60 front($30) that is not DOT with a tube and it works great as long as you remember it is not for street use. So, if anyone knows of someone looking for a lightly used TCK 130 size I have a tire for them.

Why, oh why would anyone ruin an R1 like that.

How sad. : (
