    '80.750 Rear Wheel

    Ive a gs 750 that i would like to put 5.5 rear wheel on.if there is a swing arm conversion required,fine.I know that i will need to machine the counter sprocket.it seems to me that running a 170 is possible(after the chain has been moved over)however you all seem to know your stuff and i figure that you have the word on a straight wheel swap.Ta

    first off a 5.5 rim is designed for a 180 section tyre a 170 will fit but it can be out of shape a little depending on maker, some are different sizes & are not a true 170

    A gsx600/750f wheel should go in your arm with minimal messing & take a 150 or 160 tyre but in addition to sorting the chain run you will need to sort out the rear caliper

    the easiest swingarm conversion imo is to use the complete back end from a 1200 bandit :-D you will obviously need to sort top hat spacers for the pivot bearings, weld on the monoshock mounts & relocate the battery etc along with sorting the aforementioned chain run issues
