Alternative rear wheel for '81 Z750?
Thanks to .org I now have the right bearing on the way so I wondered if someone on here might be able to help with my search for a rear wheel for the project.
I think a rear wheel from an ER6 would be about right but I don't have much room in the z750 swingarm. The early eighties weren't known for fat rubber! I need to know what the measurement is from the centre line of the rear wheel to the face of the sprocket and the disc plus the actual width of a 160 section tyre at its fattest. I know this is asking a bit much but it might save me a few trips to breakers with a tape measure! There will be pictures of the old z again soon... Thanks, Mark |

centre to sprocket face is 110mm, centre to disc face is 80mm and the tyre is around 170mm wide.

Seems that this will be too big for the space I have. I reckon I'll end up with a GPz500 wheel. Mark |
