Hi to everyone,
I've been lurking here since purchasing my 1000s last spring, and have picked up lots of good info. I've just purchased an s4rs front end for my bike and would like to match the rear wheel with one from a 999 or 749. Does any one know how much of a job that will be? I think changing the wheel bearings to acomodate the 25 mm rear axle will be easy. It looks like I will need a new sproket carrier as mine has 6 lugs and the superbikes seem to all have 5 lugs. Are there any other fit or clearance issues? My wheel is the older style 3 spoke in 5.5 inch, are the superbike wheels 5.5 or 6 inch? Thanks for the input.
