New rear wheel for FZR400

[frogfeaturesFZR]

Hi Guys, I have an '88 FZR 400 with a std 18" rear wheel. Are there any wheels off other bikes in 17" I can replace it with ? I have heard that a TZR wheel is an option.

tzr250 are normally ya best bet, bit hard to get hold of tho, unless ya wanna pay thru the nose really.

Go to www.madsi.co.uk they have heaps of good tips (including wheel swaps) for FZR400 models. Seems like there isn't much that will fit without a bit of fettling though, but worth a go, as there isn't much range in 18" tyres. Im having the same probs

Are you going to raise the forks through the yokes to compensate for the increased rake angle due to the smaller wheel (which will lower the rear)?

Or:

Place a thin spacer under the rear shock mount to raise the rear slightly to compensate.

i got a vfr400 shock sitting in race bike down stairs, still got the 18" wheel tho,
