ZXR wheel conversion zx6r...

Hi all,

Basically i want to start running a 180 rear tyre in my zxr400 but ideally would like to keep the wheel looking standard so im wondering if anyone knows if a "98 Zx6 r g1" wheel will fit without too much drastic action, (making of spacers/replacing bearings isnt a problem)

Cheers.

Hi,

The thing you will need to think about is if the swingarm can accommodate a 180 rear wheel.

I'm sure a cleverererererreeer person will be along soon.

It will work just fine, my 400 swingarm is actually wider than the 05ZX6r I had. I have an 05 rear wheel on my bike. Search, there's photos posted. It was pretty easy, just new spacers to line everything up. I run a 180/55 pirelli and it is only slightly bigger than the 160. The overall weight was lighter than the stock wheel with the 160.
