5in Rear Rim on a Kz650? Hoping for a quick answer was created by 750steve
I'd appreciate some help, preferably from guys that have done this, here goes.
I'm doing a front & rear end swap on a KZ650 B1, the proposed swingaarm will take a wide tyre but the issue isn't with that. I'd wanted to use a 4.5 in rear & 160 tyre but some rims have came up at very reasonable money, thing is the rear is a 5inch wide rim.
I know i'll have to use an offset front sprocket anyhow but im wondering if the extra 1/2 inch will cause chain clearance issues where the chain passes the frame near the swingarm pivot?, i'll still be using a 160 section tyre.
I'm just hoping for a quick answer cos they ain't gonna sit about long!! Cheers Guys.
PS any other probs i should be concerned about?
