Hi all,
I am wondering about changing the rear wheel on my mk2 for a wider item. Has anyone had any experience of this mod? Is there anything out there that will fit straight in? I read in here somewhere that someone fitted a Bandit 600 rear wheel, is this easy?
If it is too difficult I may not bother.
Replacement rear wheel

Guessing Fazer / FZR wheels would be more liable to drop in
Main Q is why you wanna larger rim?
Although you changing the front for 17" hoop, you shouldn't have to change the rear I'd a thought.....

Done: Homo sap navigation/ twisty thing on bars to make it go vroom/ grabby thing to make it stop (in front of twisty thing)/ 'leccy things front and rear to make it glow at night/ Sucky + drippy oiler thing to keep chains moist (!!) / Laser Pro Stock Race pipes / bleeding ear drums (see previous mod)
To do: Educate homo sap nav system to operate twisty + grabby things/ get ear plugs
All Trashed Now... Pants... its a Cat B Mwahahaha it lives again!!
Remember every driver is a deaf myoptic twat who is out to kill you, ALWAYS assume they are going to do THE most f*cking DUMBASS, STUPID manouver possible, at the worst possible moment; get past, and get past quick

Fazer wheel is too wide, bin there tried it also a Fazer swingarm is too wide the TDM has what looks like two spacers as part of the frame that narrows at the swingarm bolt by ecaxtly the same width as would be needed to fit the swingarm

mmmmmmm well "the weldy fella" in our village has a smashed Honda X11 and i was looking at the nice beefy alloy swinger today to see if t'would fit me MKII................me no tink so, but we will look closer at it to see if it cud be machined and spaced to fit, plus the X11 hasn't got a rising rate suspension linkage which makes tings a bit easier, will report back asap.

If it is really wide won't you run into chain alignment problems ( as the 4cyl X11 motor is wider ) ?????????? depending on cost etc may be better looking at an after mkt dedicated TDM swingarm ?

Main Q is why you wanna larger rim?
As you know I have the 17incher for the front which has a wider rim. I have started a thread hereabouts asking if there would be any stability issues.
I have heard that there is room to fit wider tyres to the stock rim but I would not want to distort one to make it fit.
Basically I was just wondering how easy it would be to fit a wide rim to counter the increased width at the front ie bigger footprint front and back.
