wider tires. whats it take?

[Madwombat]

OK. so if anyone wouldn't mind spending a few minutes. I wanna go to 180 rear and 110 in the front. What would the list of parts I would need to do the rear? Specific years and models would be awesome. all I know so far is:

• 5.5 inch rim
• 530 chain and sprockets What tooth counts should I get?

And thats all I really know. Also, what for the front. would it be best to just try and find a complete front end and be done? or should I try and get some parts from one bike, and some from others, mixing and matching to make a better front end?

Thank you so much for all your help.

You have to be a little careful about ordering sprockets. Some of the wheels use a 5 bolt carrier and others 6 bolt. I believe either JT sprockets or Vortex has diagrams and measurements for the bolt patterns on their website.

GSXR 1100 front ends are recommended for their ease of installation, length, brakes, fork stiffness, and their 17" rims designed for radials.

I mounted an '88 gsxr 1100 front end with 18" rim from an '87 gsxr1100 on mine, and was a direct swap. Easy, even for me. With rim size change and difference in fork length, front dropped ~3/4".
