F3 wheel on a '03 650s - SV650.org

12-07-05, 02:24 AM

I've seen people talk about getting a f3 wheel (I'm assuming for the added width out back [am I correct?]) What all goes into "making" it fit? Does it fit "as is?" Mods? What size tire usually comes on it? What is the benefit? does it have the same rolling circumfrence? And lastly, what is the air-speed velocity of an unladen AFRICAN swallow?

Betetr to ask on SV Rider, TWF and Ducowner on there both make a spacer kit. IIRC for the K3> it's jsut a case of spacers since the axle's the same size. Means you can fit up to a 180 IIRC, which has advantages and disadvantages... But I've not actually tried it so I'm not BASAT qualified

Most people will tell you it'll ruin the SV's handling. Most people have never tried it though.
