jimbob43 Posted September 26, 2018 Posted September 26, 2018 Anyone put 17inch wheels into a dr800, if so what wheels did you use? Quote
vizman Posted September 26, 2018 Posted September 26, 2018 i laced up my original hubs to excel rims on my dr, @Havocis attempting something with his dr 1 Quote

The hubs were in production from 93 until 2002. The bearing are the wrong size so spacers required. The disk is massive on the front and I'm using a Harrison Billet 6 caliper so new hanger being made. Viz's way is loads easier but I had the wheels... 2 Quote
jimbob43 Posted October 5, 2018 Author Posted October 5, 2018 Getting new rims laced to the hubs sounds like a plan, what rims are you using Quote

Accel rims from a DRZ400SM would be as good as any.. Quote
Havoc Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 Need to make a new front spindle though. DR 800 is 15mm and the Talon hub is 16mm, I wouldn't feel comfortable with a 0.5mm walled spacer. 2 Quote
VJ Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 can you not get different bearings to suit Tom? Liking the look of it on those wheels though, makes it look a lot more modern. Quote
