It's off a 91 gsxr1100. Yeah I got an absolute steal £50 for wheel, sprocket carrier and 180/55 17 tyre with possibly about 1500 miles left on her  :good2:

Good looking wheel. Once it is on and you ride for a short time. You will ask yourself .... Why didn't I do this sooner.   :i_am_so_happy:

Something to consider .... Replace all 3 bearings before you install.

Good advice Fred. Not knowing the history of the wheel etc etc. Although I must admit when I did my wheel swap, I did a quick bearing check and they lasted for another 5 years before they were changed, (I don't do a lot of kms per year)  :yahoo:

Edit. I can never get quoting/ formatting right on the ipad!!
