Yeah not convinced about cheapest anything when it comes to my life in the hands of a motorbike lol.
Just save up and do it properly would be my advice.
Since the brakes on the DTR are pathetic, I'd recommend getting the full setup.

But, beware DTX are waaay better forks, stiffer with less travel in them, they are also shorter than DTR forks which really helps the front end geometry for a Motard setup,
I have to run 30mm solid bushes in the DTR forks to take out the fork travel and make it somewhat reasonable to ride, otherwise I think it's pretty bad.
I know WR125R forks are better sprung out the box, and that is a straight swap, you can just run the non mechanical drive WR125R Speedo sensor to the OEM Digital clock, pretty smart setup

@jonne123 said in SM wheels on 1994 DT125R:
What is 4.10x18 and 2.75x21 tires in metric?
110x18 and 80x21 are about the same;
You can go up slightly on the stock rims to;
120x18 and 90x21 but that's the limit really.
