SM Wheel info ....
I am running a 17x3.5 in the front and 17x5 on the back.
had them made brand new so they cost a little.
RAD hubs and Eight Ball Rims. Originally i had ordered 17x3.5 and 17x4.25 back
but they had trouble getting the rim to run true when they laced it. So they put a 5" on the back for me instead.
Originally i put a 120/70 tyre on the front and 150/70 tyre on the back from a suggestion. The 150 was just about to rub on the swing arm and front 120 would just start to touch, under heavy break on the front fork.
I found i could only go 110/70 rubber on the front and 130/70 on the back.
Which is the sizes that come out on the SF version in the states i think.
The only issue i got was that for some reason the back hub has M6 bolt holes for the back disc, instead of the original M8 like the OEM disc holes. So i just had to get some different bolts like the OEM kawasaki bolts to fit.
Not to sure if other year model motard rims would fit. say from a d-tracker or something. I did have to wait a couple of weeks for the RAD hubs as they had to come in from the states. So if your after a quick turn around on a set you might have to look at getting some second hand ones.
dd1972 and tremor would be the people to ask about other year models that might fit, they seem to know people that know, if they dont.
Oh yeah dont forget, since the front wheel is smaller on the front you have a variance in what the speedo says and to what your actually moving at.
Hope that helps.
