You said in another post that the rear wheel on there was a 6.25.... How did you go about shimming out the fronts sprocket for the wider rear tire?  And what bike did you get this particular swingarm off.???


Thanks :icon_razz:

servus,

yes it was a 6,25 x17 wheel with 200/50-17. it was a modified gsxr wheel.

the front sprocket was an offset! see here:


the swingarm was original Bandit1200, only polished.

servus,

when you take the gsxr swingarm and the 4,5 bandit wheel, you don´t need a offset sprocket.

only by using 5,5x17 and bigger! 8)
