Changing the rear wheel for a GXSR one
 
Hello all

What are the benifits of changeing the rear wheel for one off a GSXR, i know i will have to change the bearing and stuff, but will i have to change the swing arm due to the wider wheel, and will i have to change and fiddle with the front end as well?

Hmm i think i also need to learn how to spell


Any help/ideas will be great.

Thanks!

You get to have a fat ass em... sorry I meant a larger rear . Oh well this is coming out all wrong :wink:

No seriously, the first thing peeps would want to know is why you are thinking of it in the first place.

Cheers

No swing arm issues, but it does bad things to the handling I'm told......

Well, the bike looks ace, but I wouldn't have even noticed the tyre size if I wasn't looking for it... Basically it'll make your tyres more expensive and slow your turning. If you think it'll look good enough to make that worthwhile, then go for it...

Quite a few folks but CBR wheels on the rear, they're a little bigger but not massively- it's popular with US racers because there's more race tyre choices for the CBR. Plus the CBR wheel looks fantastic.
