    OK. so if anyone wouldn't mind spending a few minutes. I wanna go to 180 rear and 110 in the front. What would the list of parts I would need to do the rear? Specific years and models would be awesome. all I know so far is:And thats all I really know. Also, what for the front. would it be best to just try and find a complete front end and be done? or should I try and get some parts from one bike, and some from others, mixing and matching to make a better front end?

    Thank you so much for all your help.

          You have to be a little careful about ordering sprockets. Some of the wheels use a 5 bolt carrier and others 6 bolt. I believe either JT sprockets or Vortex has diagrams and measurements for the bolt patterns on their website.

            I mounted an '88 gsxr 1100 front end with 18" rim from an '87 gsxr1100 on mine, and was a direct swap. Easy, even for me. With rim size change and difference in fork length, front dropped ~3/4".

            Me: Hey Dan-O. Just wanted to say howdy & love ya!

            Dan-O: Howdy and Love you too. Doing good, feeling good.

            Me: Give 'em hell, Little Bro!

            Dan-O: Roger that! :)
