    FZRs must have every size known to man. Also had 2.5s. 2.75 might make for running off edge of tyre as it is a little big for it.
    Don't you look at my accountant.

    Could be worth a try, It may not be all that bad, would expect it to turn a bit slower than it otherwise would.

    It all comes down to what it costs and if you are OK spending that on something that may or may-not work for you.

    Well he's only charging $300 for the pair, which is a good price but to be honest is a lot of money for me to spend at the moment. Other option is to stick my impulse 2.5 on the front, but Katie reckons that it's a shit heavy wheel. I can buy the rear and carrier for $200 or he's offered me a GSX with carrier.

    Buy the rear and keep looking for a front. Most of money in a front disc.. Yams did 2.15 and 2.5 so should turn up

    Whack the impulse front in there in the meantime, they aren't that much heavier than a GSXR250 wheel and the easiest conversion possible as the axle and disk are the same size and all you need is new spacers.
    Stock is best

    Not sure it will be a straight swap on the RGV. I think the discs are different sizes.
