3.5" rim and 120/70 fitted!
« on: 07 January 2012, 07:35:25 pm »
It feels as good as every new tyre, but I have not ride it hard yet. It looks great and I also fitted badass rubber fork gaiters instead those ugly plastic things. The mudguard does not look ugly now, but minimalistic. The speedo is sincere due the larger diameter.

The rim is the model F-52, it came  from a TRX850, (also came with the FZR400R -thanks to our mate hybridYZF for helping-, and problably with the latest FZR600R) You just have to remove a couple pieces at the speedo area, put your brake discs and thats all. The colour is glossy very dark grey, it seems stock in my bike because the rear rim is covered with filth.

Next the 170/60 rear, the tyre that is actually designed for 5" rims.

Nice one i've got a 3TJ Fzr400 front i'm going to try but no spacers so i'll have to use the Fazers or get some made up if they don't fit. Given that the Sp wheel goes straight in and the only difference is the Sp has captive spacers it should work, right?

Take a look to the rim to find what model and size is it to be sure. Older FZRs have 3" rims, probably the same model which came with the Fazers.
