Any reason why you aren't using a stock FZ 1 wheel? I am just curious as many have used the stock FZ1 wheel. Is it possible the GSXR wheel has the sprocket attached closer to the center of the wheel , thereby bringing the chain closer to the tire?
The stock FZ 1 set up has no clearance issues with tires, but needs an offset sprocket.


I went with the GSXR wheel because that what I used in the OEM FJ swing arm and everything worked very well over 4 years. I figure at most I will need wider spacers at both inboard sides of the swing arm.

Should be good to go - Yamaha seems to be good about mounting the wheel in the center of the swingarm and the swingarm in the center of the chassis.   

I think it was some Suzuki (maybe Honda?) parts I found a while ago where the swingarm was offset to one side, and the wheel was offset the other direction - it ended up centered in the original chassis, but would be a pain for other swaps.

It's kinda looking like a Tron light cycle. Should be good in the 90 degrees turns Fred.
