    Any Pre or Post Kat wheels will fit on the rear. The front can use any 02 or earlier wheels. 03+ will not work on the front.

    It would be a decent upgrade if you got a set of post wheels, swapping the front to a 3.5" and the rear to a 4.5" wheel set.

      Thats really good news Kreylyn thanks again for your help.
      Did have a look at your swingarm mod but i dont think id even attemp it.
      As im not that technicaly minded.
      Man i cant even spell very well lol

      Sorry another question
      If i use a post front wheel the brake pattern is 5 bolt and my wheels are 6.
      so will post disks fit.I mean are they the same outside diamiter as my 88 disks so all i have to change is wheel and disks.?

        For the front wheel, get both wheel and rotors.

        for the rear wheel, get the wheel, rotor, and sprocket carrier.

        You can use the axles, spacers, caliper brackets, calipers from your bike.
