Default Pointy 180 rear wheel conversion?

Does anyone know if there is a straight swap for a wheel to fit a 180 rear tyre to an injected SV?

I looked into this a little while ago. From memory an 600 F4 rear wheel and carrier fits in by modifying the standard SV spacers. (For an injected SV) although I do recall the F4 wheel being slightly undersized for a 180. But I might have made that up...

I was going to do this, had it all set up and ready to go, but had my bike knicked. So now I'm left with a 180 back wheel, a gixxer 750 swing arm and a gixxer thou back wheel, just sat there

How exactly would those go together then? The swingarms are rather different.

Yes they are, with the shock and all, well the thou 190 wheel fits in the swing arm and the swing arm pivot point is thinner than the one on the SV, I was planning on either messing about cutting welding etc on the swing arm, making the arm fit the shock, or have a mess around with the downpipes and moving the shock so it fits the arm, I was planning on doing it over winter as I would be using the zzr anyway and I'm a maintenance engineer in a sheet metal works so I have had plenty of help there
