At this point I'm using the 530 GSXR rear sprocket and the fzr 530 front sprocket. I do plan a change to 520 in the near future though.

Awesome. Then I should be able to just get the machining done and get a 520 rear for the Suzuki rim and I should be set. I have a 520 conversion 15/50 on there right now, and as it's almost time for a new tire, I figured I might as well go ahead and finish the conversion before I buy the new tire. Now to just figure out the number of rear sprocket teeth I need....

is that tire wider than the FZR tire?
do you have a rear pic of the whole bike? I was trying to get a size comparision of the bike vs. wheel. :banana:
if its wider, and theres not much to do to swap out the wheels, then I want to do it...

The tire is now a 160 and the rim is 4.5" x17" . The big benefit is being able to get good tires and slicks.
I can get some more pics if you like, but I won't be able until a bit later tonight. What angle would you like ?

I just need a rear shot with the whole bike in the pic so I can see what it looks like on the bike from a back view.

I'm looking for another one myself. I want one for a rain slick and one for the regular slick. I'll suggest where to find one AFTER I get another one,lol.
Thanks for the kind words.

Hey, I have a Honda F3 rear wheel that is also a 160. The problem I have is the tire rubs against the brake arm. You have that problem at all?
