hello, this is my first post. I am being shipped a race ready 1991 KR1s from Ireland! It should arive in NYC in 3 weeks. I am super stoked! I have been reading this message board for a couple weeks and I really enjoy it seeing as there are no US based forums (assuming that is because they are not too legal in the states) and you guys know your stuff. Anyways, down to business..
I am swapping out my rear wheel down to a 17 inch. It will allow me to have a wider selection of the tires i like to run and better traction i believe. Just wanted to hear some point of views on this from people who have tried this.
also i plan on running a 110/70/17 and a 160/60/17 pirelli diablo rosso any objections?

thank you so much for all the info. I think i will leave the wheels stock first to see how it feels. play around with some swingarm ideas and the 06 R6 rear shock idea as well! im just so amped about the bike i guess i need to wait til it arrives so i can put my hands on it and toy with some ideas!

An RGV VJ22 rear wheel fits well just needing new spacers makeing. A 160 tyre fits with out problem but you have to put a slight kink into the rear brake torque arm to clean the tyre.
The new rear suspension dogbones need to be 6mm longer to compensate for the losss of ride height.
