    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. 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...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

HHHMMMMMMMmmmmm?

Which model Kats are the same a gixxer? All the kat wheels I have seen have very small axles where as the gixxers are all 20mm.

It would be good info to find which kat wheels have 20mm

The later model 600 /750 f's use the same wheel as the bandits & early watercooled bikes in both 4.5 & 5.5 sizes 20mm spindle right up to the gsxr srads when they went to 28mm, things to watch for are differing hub widths & the 2 different sizes of sprocket carrier
you need the brake hanger that goes with the wheel too in most cases as they vary from model to model depending on the hub width

sorry i cant be more precise than that mate ive had loads pass through my hands & they all seem to run into 1 in the end, hope it helps anyway :D

Katman is right. If you go to a wider wheel you are going to have to go with an offset sprocket. I read up on all these swaps quite a bit and it looked like the best bang for you buck was getting a gs1100 swing arm and putting a GSXR 5.5in wheel on. You'll need the 5/8in offset sprocket and a 530 chain.

No 17in radial ready wheel is gonna fit on your front end. If you put a radial on the back, you'll want one on the front and that requires an entire front end swap. I went this route about 6 months ago - putting a bigger rear wheel on opens up a whole can of worms.

Agreed. The simplest thing is to do wheel,forks,triple and brakes and at least need an 1100E swinger but that is not to suggest it is simple. The term "bolt-on" is used alot, but is really an overstatement meaning that part doesn't have to be modified but there are plenty that have to at least be matched if not modified (top triple, steering stops, offset counter sprocket, brake lines, bar risers, gages mounts....etc). Thre are guys with assess to a machine shop and have teh skill to make nearly anything work. Obvioulsy those guys can do anything.:-\\\
