If you've got one for sale or in a parts-pile, please reach out! I'd love to make the jump (finally!) to 17" tires this year.
Edit:
ISO of 88-89 GSXR750 & 1989 1100 4-1/2"x17" rear wheel
OR
90-92 GSXR750, or 1100 5-1/2"x17" rear wheel
I am so tired of running 17" front Shinko and 16" rear Shinko!

I bought 2 wheels off ebay both were supposed to be gsxr1100 wheels. Both where gsxr600 wheels. I made Both work. A lot of messing around with spacers. And an offset honda countershaft sprocket. To get the wheel centered and chain straight. But you can make. Just about any wheel work. Just need to have a buddy who is a machinist. Found out that gsxr guys would switch too the 600 wheels because they are the lightest production wheels from Suzuki at the time. Lol. I think it's because of 1 less bolt holding the sprocket. 5 instead of 6. Also how to tell 600 from 750-1100.

Please remember you need more than just the wheel. You need all the ancillaries as well and you need to decide how you're going sort out the brake caliper and mounting (GSXR or GSXF option).

Need even more than that if you have an 1100 and want to start at the front first, rear looks pretty easy and cheap
Got a 17” rim for the front but to do the front I need forks, rotors, brake calipers and maybe some other items too :dash1:
Tyres for 16” are still scarce here, I’m running bias (seems to be 6yrs old bought this yr) on the front with radial Avon on rear

I have everything you need for this swap: wheel, sprocket carrier, bearings, spacers, brake caliper and more. PM me for details.

Hey Bill!
Just wanted to bump this, and let you know that I've PM'ed you and sent an email, as well :)
If you still have all of those parts, I am definitely interested!
