Allspeeds Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 (edited) Is it much graft to get a gen 1 busa wheel into a 1100 k swingarm arm? Edited February 10, 2019 by Allspeeds Quote Link to comment
wraith Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I think, this came up not long ago, but with a TL1000 very similar. Quote Link to comment
Allspeeds Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 Just found a dymag that’s all but if it’s major graft I won’t be that botherd about hacking up a dymag if it’s just a quick new spacers and sprocket carrier machine il probably give it a go? Quote Link to comment
MeanBean49 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 (edited) Good luck trying to get the sprocket offset sorted, 10mm difference between oil cooled and busa/TL/srad/k-series wheels. Can be done on 5.5 wheels, think chain run will be touch and go on 6" And personally if your planning on big power and torque I wouldnt trust the thin dymag carrier area and silly little doughnut cush drives to be up to the task, especially if machined down Edited February 10, 2019 by MeanBean49 Quote Link to comment
Allspeeds Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 That’s why I asked the question mate if it was nowt major I’d give it’s go but if it’s already been proven to be a pain I mite pass on it this time Quote Link to comment
Dezza Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 (edited) I recently put a 6 inch back wheel in a bike, which had a similar design sprocket carrier as a Dymag wheel. The offset needed reducing but the design of the carrier meant that the face could not be reduced much at all so in the end I ended up having a new carrier of a different design made. The problem is that a Dymag wheel (newer design) and many other race wheels have six M10 allen bolts scewed into the hub and the sprocket carrier cush drives sit on the heads of these bolts. The amount the bolts protrude from the hub plus a few mill then sets the inner limit for the chain run unless there is enough metal on the wheel hub itself to enable enough of a reduction.
