new RG500 owner wheel advice

#1 Post by fozzy17 » Sun Nov 02, 2014 4:51 am

Hi guys just bought a Rg500 to go with my tzr and rd500, after doing a little research am I right in thinking GSX600 wheels are a direct bolt on for this? apart from taking 11mm off cushdrive? and the front direct bolt on no mods at all?

3" front up to 98 gsx600f wheel fits with no mod's, I have one with new bearings and paint If you live in uk.
Rear needs machining and a bearing change to fit.
Get your self over to the RGV forum, as this is a well dicussed common mod.

As stock the wheels on an RG can be anything upto 10mm out of line !
Before you start make sure your frame, forks and arm are straight. Dont think because someone else had to machine 13mm from the spr carrier you should do the same.
