[busa ash]

Hi guys weekends here again... sorry got my wires crossed .

 

Has some one fitted the k series 5.5 x 17 wheel into there slingshot rear swingarm

 

Diamond spoke wheel too match my upgraded front end

Can be done mate, i made some captive spacers that also sleeved down to match slingy spindle.

Iirc brake side distance from swingarm to wheel centre is exactly the same on K series and slingy. So keep that the same and wheel will be central, just make spacer to suit sprocket side.

Biggest issue is the 10mm difference in sprocket offset. I usually machine 5mm off the sprocket carrier, wheel hub and spacer, then run a talon sprocket back to front and a 2mm spacer behind front sprocket.

Or if you have clearence and offset front sprocket by 10mm.

Or even easier, use an s-rad front wheel so spokes match rear

Managed too score a wheel for £50 Bit box for another caliper option

Roughly what I did on the Slabby Ash

Do any of you guys have a pic or 3 of a machined sprocket carrier?

I'm uncertain as to what parts exactly need to be machined  (yes, I'm a bit thick).

The face that the sprocket sits on.
