I saw one from a 1990 and I have a 92-600. It was 17" and would that bolt up in the 6??? Better tire choices this way. 150's/17

That would be awesome but the 1000s wheel is much bigger.

Nope. It's a 5.5in wide wheel. You would have to do. Swingarm swap to archive such a thing. It has been done using a yzf600 swingarm though. I don't have details on how but I have seen it done.

I can have one for sale come end of march. Problem is I don't think anyone wants to pay me what it would cost. :)

The mod itself to the swingarm I charge $75. But then you need new bearings...and while it's all apart you might as well powder coat it....same goes for the wheel too. You can't have a powdered swingarm without a powdered wheel. Course, then you need bearings for the wheel. You'll also need a new shock and dogbones. Seems silly to open up the tire choices and still run a super crappy suspension. So all that plus the cost of the swingarm and wheel... It's not the cheap way to go, but damn will it the sexy way!
