17 inch rim

[Hemi Bob]

Hi all I have been reading a number people talking about replacing there 16 inch rear wheel with a 17 inch.
Is there a kit that anyone has put together so I can just remove the 16 incher and bolt up the 17 inch
I would like to leave all the machine work to someone that knows what there are doing. Can I just buy a 17inch wheel thats ready to go? I just got my engine back from the engine shop cleaning up the cylinder head new seals valve job new 1157 kit.I have my old hindle pipe  but I'm going to put  a S/S Remus pipe that I pick up on eBay. Looking forword to oil changes with out removing the exhaust.

Happy New Year every one

You do realize that you would actually have to do some of the work probably, there's no perfect premade hand-holding kit available generally.

Hi Robert,

I just bought a complete rear wheel and brake assy from a  90' GSXR 750.  I have not installed it yet as I still have miles left on the 16" tire.  But I must tell you, after having the whole assy here for about a month, it's not as difficult as you may think it's going to be.  Really, all you are going to need above and beyond the wheel/brake pack are a few washers and a bolt to hold the brake arm in place.
