Wider Rear Wheel
 
Hi,

I much prefer form over function, so I was wondering, is there anyway of fitting a wider rear tyre/rear wheel to a '06 SV650? I was hoping to go from 160mm to 180mm wide

Thanks

You know very little my son ;)

EDIT: To ellaborate a little. Spacers and a rear wheel from a Bandit 1200. It may not be very cost effective ;)

I understand it can also effect the handling.......based on what I have read from other posts on the subject.

I had a 180 tyre on my sv rear when I got it.

seriously though you prefer form over function on a motorcycle?

Well thats down to personal preference. It seemed to aid things for me really. I did have GSXR forks and a raised rear on it also. And a 120/70.

Which is why I said no in my first reply. But if he prefers form over function, who am I to stop him :rolleyes:

Swing arm change? Gixxer?

I have no idea, just throwing that out there.

Maybe Gixxer front and rear end (but then why not just get a Gixxer I suppose)??

Yeah, but then you join all the other Gixxer riders. Why not be a little different on an SV?
