As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

Has anybody done this? I used a GSXR 5.5 rim, A 180/55/17 tire, the GSXR caliper, gsxr caliper mount and the gsxr rotor. The tire fit on the swing arm but it only had about half of the travel for the chain adjustment. So I just took a inch off the support that is welded to the box channel, and doing that I have full travel for the chain. The only other problem was that the stock GS caliper linkage mounted on the top of the swingarm and the GSXR needed to have the mount on the bottom. So I talked to my friend, got a number for a welder about 4 miles for my house, and I drop the swingarm off monday nite. When I pick it up I will post some pics ASAP. oh-yeh the first time I slapped the tire on it had a 190/50/17 on it and that fit and I put the 180 to see if it looked better.
 
Do google search for Rob Wilton, he has done it, and documented it with sketches on his web site. Rob's also known as Katman if you want to wade through his posts on this site.
