Suzuki 17" Rim on stock FZR swingarm MOD (Testing Grounds)

[CaptainCanuck]

I found a rim...
88-90 gsxr 750
all chrome
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/88-90-Su ... ccessories



to bad its $300


im confused as to why the 85-87 gsxr750 has a 5.5 rear wheel...then 88-90 it has a 4.5, then 91- on its 5.5....

I'm not entirely sure either....it is a Suzuki though.

And I may have found a breakthrough part for this conversion...a prefab bushing that goes inside 20mm ID bearings and allows you to use a 17mm axle....some of the early gixxer guys are in the same boat we are...I'll post the link soon.

I'm guessing you mean something like this ?

That was the one. I'm looking into whether or not my local bearing shop might have anything like that currently. One of the links on the suzuki forum was to a bearing specialist that supposedly kept those kind of spacers in stock in all sorts of lengths. I was thinking that you could just use the stock bearings and captive spacers and just run an axle adapter through it (17mm ID 20mm OD).

yo Finch,
if that bushing fits in the cush drive bearing section it is a standard yamaha part !

go get two bearings part number 6303,these will fit your wheel and the 17mm axle. Then go buy som 7/8" DOM tubing with a wall thickness of 0.095", have it cut on a lathe to the same width as the GSXR internal wheel spacer. At this point your gsxr wheel will fit the axle. Now hand the guy operating the lathe the GSXR spacer from inside the sprocket carrier,tell him you need one just like that but with a bore size to fit the 17mm axle. While there have him machine down the sprocket carrier , and make the other two wheel spacers you'll need.

Capt,
Nice but how much to machine the sprocket carrier down by and where on the carrier ?

[CaptainCanuck]

1. "Remove .345 from sprocket carrier where sprocket sits.
2. Remove .305 from sprocket carrier where stock bearing seal sits.
3. Replace bearing with sealed bearing type but same size

Capt,
Cool we now have some facts to add to the WIKI section, wanna try your hand? I am a bit busy harassing Doctors & try to outwit the nurses to get my web pages done I have some nifty photo's to edit & add

[CaptainCanuck]

no idea how to do that

[shredex]

1. "Remove .345 from sprocket carrier where sprocket sits.
2. Remove .305 from sprocket carrier where stock bearing seal sits.
3. Replace bearing with sealed bearing type but same size

how do you even remove just .345 ....


and to edit the wiki, you basicly go to it and hit "edit" and put in your article

We did it on a mill with a rotoray table.
Bring the cutter down to just touch the piece,reset travel indicator to zero then whe you get close take some measurements until you get it where you want.

I pm'd tommy with a request to add a gsxr wheel swap to the wiki so CaptianCanuck can submit a how-to with all these crazy measurements

I don't mean to rain on everyone's parade but I already started to page for the Suzuki rim swap a while ago. I mostly have interchange information on there but you can add any other info to there.
