ZZR1100 back wheel on GPZ900?

[johno74]

Hi all,
Trying to find info on beefing up the rear wheel on a planned gpz900 survival bike by putting a fatter zzr1100 wheel on it.

Im sure this wouldve been done before. Would like to know if there is a swing arm that will take the zzr wheel and fit on to the gpz9 frame(doesnt look like the zzr arm would for example)-ie not too much in the way of fafffffing and any other easily sourcable bits that will smooth the way.

Any guidance from anyone whose done it/ knows how to would be great please.

if it has a 16'' front wheel don't

my gpz9 (a3) had an oversize rear tyre when i got it (150 not 130) and i lost front end at slow speed. I got a spare for bits that had been totalled killing it's rider when he lost the front end - guess what brand new oversize 150 section rear tyre.

If you want to beef up the back sort the front end first (unless it is a later 17'' front end - in which case ignore me).
