Widest rear wheel can put into GS1100

[Addy Leung]

Hi Club Members,

I have a question about that it has been seen a lot case of modification to rear wheel for GS1100 or Katana. So, what is the widest rear 17" wheel can be put into the GS1100 if both the swing arm and sprockets also going to modify, but the chain would not be hitting the frame ? 5.5” or 6” or 6.5”or even bigger wheel?
Hope someone can give some expreince advice.

Addy if you check out Katman's thread in performance mods, about his 1166 Katana rebuild you will see that a 5.5" just fits and therefore seems to be the widest that will fit, I had until then believed that a 4.5" was the widest.

Dink & Robinlo,

Thankyou for your great advice and now, I learn more about rear end arrangement. GSresources is really a no.1 good web site.
