Default Re: What rims fit an '03 1000 SS (cakake)

Well, I guess my theory is completely out the window.

So there seem to be all kinds of frikkin' combinations, but I'm losing track of what's what.

I bought a set of wheels from Strati (they came off your S4, right?) that I was going to use on Jessica's new SS800 (which is the same as the '03 800 Sport). But these 5-spokes have 25mm holes, and the hub is wider than her stock 3-spokers.

But even if the wheels were narrow enough, it's more than simply changing to a larger bearing. you would have to enlarge the holes in the swingarm itself, the chain-adjuster sliders, the rear caliper bracket, and buy a new axle and spacer.

It's just not an option.

So basically, I'm going to be selling these wheels, but there's no way I can tell people what bikes they'll fit. All I can do is give them the specs and they take their chances.

I've offered them to one guy, so I'm giving him first refusal. But if he declines the offer, I'll list them here first...
