slabgix750 Posted October 3 Posted October 3 (edited) Sorry if this has been done to death... I have a 1986 750 with stock 18" wheels. Would like to know which 17" wheels to buy to give the easiest swap without fork/swingarm changes. I am not looking for a 180 back tyre, just something that 17" and bigger than the 140 with wider availability. Could someone let me know exactly which years/models I can choose from? Guessing at the very least I will need to swap my rotors and possibly bearings? In the UK if anyone has a spare set. Thanks. *EDIT* I see the 88-89 750 17" wheel is a 4.5 width and allows a 160 tyre which I really like the sound of. It has a 240mm rotor though, but guessing I can use my old one? The front wheel from this year has a bigger axle and bigger rotor, so not sure what to do axle wise. Also, it appears that the front end is a little more involved to the point where the disc is 310mm and potentially I have to source different calipers. I believe the general feeling is that it's easier in every way just to replace the whole front end from the newer bike which I don't want to do, so may just stick with the 18" after all.
