  • 16 inch rear on an 80 standard

    Thinking about putting the a 16 wheel on my 80G I have one already. I know somebody must have done this? Can I just swap them out or are the some tricks to it.

    There are a couple of tricks. Check this out with the search tool at the top of thepage and you'll find you need to do a bit of work with spacers and grinding the inside of the right swingarm axle hole. This is a fairly simple mod. You will also find that the sidestand may need to be cut down a bit or the bike will sit too close to vertical. Try starting with the word lowering in the search tool.
