Hi,
I recall considering this, but was worried about a minimum width increase with the new flanges?
i.e. as I read it, the increase in diameter came with a complusory minimum width increase?
No issue for the rear wheel, as you state, or at least manageable.
But for the front wheel is it possible to go from a rim width for a 130/60 tyre to a wider tyre? Also you can't go down to a 120/70 width (my ideal 17in tyre option)?
My thinking was if there is always a width increase for the weld up option, then 120/70 is not possible and maybe the front tyre size wouldn't be ideal (wider than 130/60)?
So then you would have to have a new 17in wheel at the front and a weldup of the original OSCAM wheel at the rear.
My Paso is no show machine, but different style wheels front and back is too much for me
Or use a wide front tyre? But I know the 120/70 and 120/60 tyres characteristics from my Supersport and wanted to go with one of these tyres.
So I went with a 17in wheel conversion on my 906, using parts I had lying around (spare Supersport wheels).
In the end, it wasn't that much cheaper than the weldup costs, as I was on a short timeline and had to pay someone else to do some of the machining to save time........
Probably I have got this wrong about the minimum width for the weldup(?), so might be worth checking with the manufacturer on this specific issue.
Cheers,
Mick
