17" Wheels

[Hacri]

I know a lot is written on getting 17" wheels for the gsx1100f. But does anyone have step for step guide how to this.

Not a lot of tires in 16" now a days.

How far do you want to go? 

Can't remember the front and rear spindle sizes ? 

If the rear spindle is 20mm you could put a b6 rear wheel in I would think, if not 20mm but is smaller the b4 has a smaller spindle size. 

Front wheel is a bit more difficult as you have spindle size and spacing of discs and mounting the calipers. 

If you really want to go for it, have a look at my project Hellcat.

Thanks, will check out your project.

Thought of keeping it as simple as possible, as my IH Scout II project will take most of my time.

Matching bearings ?

I have rf900 wheels but most take 1100r wheels.

Read on a German site multiple how to's in the days
