    I know this has been asked before, in fact I posted in the thread. But this thread is coming from a different angle, my conversion would be permanent, not just a quick wheel swap. Then I would just swap the SM wheels onto my newly made TE, but the bike would always be off road ready.

    It seems that no new shape TE610s were sold in England but a few SM610s were, so selling my SM610 and buying a TE610 isn't an option.

    There are a couple of 510s on eBay but they aren't as reliable as the 610s are they?

    What would I need to convert it? Triple clamps, forks, bars, caliper, disc, then what? Also would the wheels from my '01 fit with the more modern TE forks I would put on there?

    I read something about the swingarm being shorter but it is the same swingarm as on my '01 and I rode that off road with no problems.

    If I could get it into a TE I would keep it but there are no parts on eBay and Husky Sport would want £££ for the necessary parts I'd imagine.
