17" rear wheel conversion

[craigslist1340]

What year and model brake stay are you using?

Mark

A GSXR 1100. years 86-92. They're all over Ebay.(Item number: 251011690084)for example. They have a sperical joint on the one end which you can bolt tight to the footpeg and it will still pivot.It has an 8mm hole on both end so no drilling required. I think I used 8mm/1.25/35mm bolt e caliper end, and 8mm/1.25/70mm on the footpeg hole, both with s.s. lock nuts.(Bolt Depot)

You're reading the numbers wrong, the FJ has a 20mm axle and the bearing is 15mm wide

Aaaaaaaaaaahhh..... Yes, sorry guys, i am megatronicly rubbish, 

And i bought a slingshot gsxr750 wheel with a good tire, caliper bracket, spindle and all spacers delivered for £32, all i need is some washers and a caliper


Is it possible to use my standard caliper and mount bracket until i can find a gsxr caliper?

Of course, PROVIDED it fits within the swingarm and positions the caliper centered over the disk with full sweep of the pad surface.  You'll have to be the one to check or adjust these items as its not a 'standard' fitment. 
IF it does fit properly (or is able to be adjusted easily) you may not want to bother getting the GSXR caliper.

Hi craigslist,
Just to be clear the whell also is from a GSXR 1100 86-92?

Thanks ,

I gave the wrong years, its 88-92 not 86. but I think wheels up to 98 will work. 1100 or 750 wheels. Depends if you want straight spokes or curved spokes. Get one with the hub and rotor so you don't have to piece it together. I got a 95 1100 complete, and waited for one that was cheapest at the time. I wasn't in a hurry and price was my objective.

Hi,
I'm in the process of getting the parts. I have a 1992 GSXR 1100 rear caliper, sprocket , cush drive, axle spacers and slingshot. I am looking for the wheel. I may change the sprocket. So, for a GSXR 750 wheel, it will work with up to 1998? I ask this because in the FJ GSXR rear wheel conversions by Kit Kat Black it states to use the following:
88-89 GSXR750 & 1989 1100: 4-1/2" 17"
90-92 GSXR750 or 1100 5-1/2"x17"
93-95 GSXR750 5-1/2" x 17"
93-98 GSXR1100 5-1/2" x 17"

Are there other years and models that may work as well. Maybe someone has had some experience with other models.

Thanks,
Mark

Hello, use one of the wheels you have listed and you won't have any problems. Make sure the spacer is between the bearings. The wheel I bought  someone didn't put it back when they changed one bearing.

Hi,
I found a 1992 GSXR 600 WN rim that is a 17" X 5.5. It has the six sections for the cush drive and not five. This bike was only made for the 92-93 model years. Would this fit as well. I ask this because it is a great price and I might be able to pick it up instead of paying shipping.

Thanks,
Mark

Hello cocker, giantkiller might be able to help you as I think he has a similar wheel.
I purchased a sprocket from him as it would not fit his wheel. he said the following...

" I found out that the 92 GSXR 750 wheel I got from the breaker is actually a 92 GSXR600 wheel. The 600 has 5 sprocket bolts and the 750 and 1100 have 6 sprocket bolt"

Hope that helps.

Yeah but I saw a picture of the wheel and it had six sprocket bolts and not five as I have previously stated.

Thanks,
Mark
