FZR100 wheel swap

[akckhim]

I got this project handed off to me by a friend. Beautiful bike i do not know why but this guy wants these pm wheels so i will do my best to get them on.

The rims on it are beautiful , I wouldn't change them but that's me LOL!!!

[akckhim]

That's what I said but its what he wants

[blowerbike]

did he opt for the cush drive?
i know on my bandit it was noticeable when i installed my pm's.
the trans clunked going into 1st and during shifts.
over 500 drag strip passes and no tranny problems though.

[akckhim]

No cush drive. Also appears to have a 4 bolt brake rotor flange on the rear are those rotors still available?

[blowerbike]

wow
i bought my set as a direct bolt on for my bandit.
yeah pm is such a high end company i'm sure they still have the universal 4 bolt rotor's.
all the harley drag guys use pm so i'm sure they do.
depending on how picky your guy is...you may just change the pattern on the stock rotors to fit.

Removed stock front wheel found it has a 17mm axel and the new bearings in the wheel are 20mm. Apparently the pm wheel uses a 42mm od bearing and it only comes with 20mm id. OK got on McMaster Carr bingo! 20mm od 16mm id bearing sleeves. Bore I'd 1mm and good to go. Just have to wait for them to arrive.

One step forward two steps back. Finally got axle bushings made wheel back on to measure and cut spacers had it real close then I turned it half a turn and wtf! All my numbers were way off. So I spun it and low and behold it has about a quarter inch of lateral runout . Now researching wheel repair any suggestions? Already talked to wheel warehouse $270 now I gotta break the news to the owner.

[akckhim]

Sent wheel to a guy in Ca. They say its not able to be fixed so this project is dead in the water till he finds another wheel put bike back together with original wheels so he can ride it

[blowerbike]

what a f in waste of time..
i feel for ya is all i can say!

[akckhim]

Yes it's frustrating but I will get some pay for my time I feel bad for the guy he's invested more than me. We will keep searching for another front wheel. And he owns 14 bikes so he has other projects he wants me to work on.
