Anyone out there turn their 310TX into a supermoto bike?

Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!

I know there are a few TE's floating around. I think it'd be awesome on a track though
Any reason why people tend to want to Motard the 310 or 250 rather then the 449? It just seems to me that the bottom end torque isn't there for road motard use, and if you are on road- weight isn't too much of a factor as it is off road. And 250 lbs (dry weight of 449) is quite light for a street bike any how...
I have a TE250, and while I have it powered up for off road, driving it on road has little torque unless I'm winding up the engine constantly which is probably not good for longevity. And if you gear it for road, it lacks any signifcant torque.. Just my opinion
Any how - there are a few threads talking about turning a TE310 to Motard.. TXC will probably be around the same thing but adding street equipment like blinkers and lights.

I ride my TE 250 to work pretty regularly and have thought about a set of SM wheels but the price is outrageous. Unless you want to use your original hubs and lace up some 17" rims you're looking at $1000+! I've seen full kits with a larger disk and caliper adapter for around $1200. To make it handle like a true SM you'd need to lower the front suspension (internally). If I started feeling like I wanted to use the bike on road and not offroad anymore I'd just sell it and go with the Henson802 plan and buy a 449.
