Rear wheel bearings an idea for wheel swaps

OK so the standard rear bearing for the FJ wheel is 6304  dimensions are 20 id  52 od  15 thick.  You would like to swap out your rear! but retain swing arm and axle pin for ease. All these other bearings have a 20mm bore 

6004    20 42 12

6204    20 47 14

6804    20 32 7

6904   20 37 9

61704    20 27 4

Just did a very quick cross ref and a 96 / 05 r1 uses a 6205   25 52 15     so swap the bearings with 6304 (20 52 15) direct fit being 52mm on the o/d and correct thickness but you now have the 20mm bore   :smile: happy day's . You can do this with many other wheels like XJR 12 &13, FJR 13, R6 the list goes on, yes some might need minor mods and no doubt centre spacer as this MUST match the inner race surface.

Remember the world is your lobster, if there is a wheel you like you will always find a way to fit it........ Anyone ever seen a FJ with wire wheels mmmm junk my R1 wheels and ...... no stop it. 
It's about as useful as a chocolate fire guard
