Wanting to put more "sporty" rims on my bike like the 3 spoke design or something similar. How would I go about doing this? Also wanting a wider tire, especially in the front.
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks!

There are a couple of ways to do this.
Eitheir the full 17" wheel conversion with GSXR 1100 or bandit components.
This means you need as a minimum the wheels, front fork and brakes as I believe the rear wheel could fit in the original swingarm.
You must also use an offset sprocket so that the chain clears the tire.
A cheaper alternative for the rear is to use an GS 1150 wheel that comes in 3 or 3.5 inches wide.
Last but not least find some GS 750 spoke wheels an fit larger rims.
I did the full conversion on my GS 1000 XP but it was not easy...
