Gsx750es alternative rear wheel

[Swirl]

Having swapped the frontend out for a slingy usd item, I now have turned the attention to the rear, I have posted already about swingarm swapz and bandit seems the easiest, but still involves a bit of fabbing,  I'm on a bit of a budget at the moment and turned my thoughts to just a wheel swap, I have got a couple of 5 inch rear wheels knocking round from other marque's that look similar to the slingy front, anyone successfully stitched a fatter rear wheel in a Gsx750es swingarm

I had a 4.5 Slingy rear in my old one, but it was a bit of a faff.

Was it worth the bit of a faff, or as much of a faff as sticking a whole swingarm in there

[Rene EFE]

No, used the std swimgarm, which made it worth it in the end. But, if I had started with a bare frame, I surely would've swapped the swingarm.

I'll dig some pics out later

It's in one piece but has the slingy Usd front end on now, time to get the tape mea sure out and see if the 5" rim will go in,

I didn't manage a 5". I used the 20mm spindle from the Slingshot and fabbed up a caliperhanger to use the stock brake setup. It handled perfect for what it was and I've regretted getting rid of it from the day I did.
