    rear wheel hub, 89 katana 750 wheel, 3.5 inch x 17inch

    hey fellas. I bought a 89 katana 750 rear wheel. for some reason I was under the impression that my GS sprocket carrier (hub), would fit the 89 wheel. But the newer wheel takes 5 rubber cusions and the original takes 6. so my question is if I get a 89 katana hub will this work on my 86 GSX550 ? provided I swap out bearings? Also what size tire can I run on the 3.5. The front is also 17 x 3.5. It has a Dunlop Sportmax II D204F 120/70ZR-17. The rear is bare. Thanks. Any tire suggestions would be appreciated.

    Krash,
    You can run a 140 radial on that rim. You do have to run the Kat sprocket carrier and either a Kat or GSX-R sprocket. You'll have to either go up a tooth on the front sprocket or down about 5 on the rear to keep the gearing about right.
