help me (again)

[moonchanger]

I recently undertook a transformation project to take my kat 750 and turn it into a streetfighter. Now the body wise isn't a problem its the rear swing arm. I want to fit a 5.5inch rim and tire on the rear but the forums tell me many diffrent ways of accomplishing this. So I ask you .... will you help me to figure out the best/safest way to achive this?

Heres kreylyns post he walks you through step by step how to widen your stock swingarm and use a 5.5 gsxr wheel and 180 tire.Thats really the only way to do it right.http://katriders.com/vb/showthread.php?t=93142 or you can just do what im doing and its a little better for the money and get a post 4.5 wheel and rotor and mod your brake arm a little then you can safely run a 170 tire plus its alot easier.A 160 is what your supposed to run on a 4.5 but they make a few 170's that say they are made to fit a post katana with a 4.5 inch wheel without deforming the tire.

That was attitude.

That was attitude.

Not at all. Just saying, either you do it or you don't.

Or you do like most people on this site do, ask a million questions, shoot down every response, then don't do it.

LOL Sorry. I meant to say "That was MY attitude." Meaning thats how I felt, I just grabbed a welder and went at it. Leaving out that little "my" changed my whole post.
