Conversion from 21' to 19" wheels on CRF1100?

Yes here is mine !

19" is Much better on the tarmac, I would do it again. 19" OEM Honda is not cheap though, keep an eye out and you might find a used bargain like I did!
I needed the adv sports wheel spacers but slipped right on.
As for my use the 19" is much better. I have smaller bikes for dirt riding. Main reason I did this is I am a Supermoto rider of many years, and I wanted to go a little bit in that direction.
Let me know if you have any questions....

How did you deal with suspension? Just lowered preload?
Feel free to DM me. Why would you lower the preload? What I did find besides needing a full setup from stock anyway, it needed a bit of extra preload to compensate for more weight on the front

I am not running 20mm lower suspension like the ADV sports model, if that's what you meant?
