Rear wheel interchangeability

Building an H1 Kawasaki with 92 GSXR swingarm and front forks. Alignment may be a problem with stock GSXR rear wheel. Does anybody know if a narrower wheel from another motorcycle will bolt up to GSXR 750 swinger, cush drive etc. Currently has 5.5 in. rim and 180/55/17 tire, am looking at trying a 160 to 170 but would like a narrower wheel to utilise tire profile properly.

Are you talking about a 89 ZX750-H1? If so check out this site and ask them The ZX-7R Owners Club

No, it's a two stroke 500 triple. I'm doing a little research for a buddy that's doing this project. It's a little nostalgia for me, as I owned one back in 1969. I may have found a solution possibly ie: SV650 rear wheel is an inch narrower, shares some common bearings and decent modern tires are available to fit. Still more investigation to be done,but,this does look somewhat promising
