I would have thought so. If they can take impacts from jumps they should be ok. Just dont do jumps with the iron head?


They do dirt drags in aussie, and a lot of the bikes are harleys with dirt bike rims and wheels.

I reckon they will be plenty strong enough mate, when stuff is designed there is a strength factor built into the part, meaning it is normally 2 or 3 times stronger than it needs to be. Just think of what a motard does around the track at Paeroa compared to what you'll be doing.

How hard would it be to just modify to bolt two rotors on and go from there?
