    What wheels has it got now? I ran a 19" bt39 on a GPz550 in post classic's and it was pretty good......it would be a whole heap less grief than trying to fit up new wheels.


    Its harder to lose weight than gain horsepower.

    some of the guys down here run 21's on dirt bikes for circuit racing so they must do a sticky 21"

    Well I have a TZR250 rear rim (2.5 x 17) if you require one.
    This is the right size for a 115/70 slick (I think).

    I thought a 17 would quicken the steering up a bit

    yeah the FXR motor is completely stuffed. We wanted something reliable.
    Sick of constant repairs between races.

    Hi AJ,
    We got the idea off one of the boys from the Pacific Motorcycle Club. We were down at Taumaranui, last Labour weekend.
    He came up for the GP as well, and did quite good on it. I think it's in an Aprilia frame.
