I did some some searching in the wheel section, and didn't run across an answer to this...
I've seen quite a few threads talking about swapping a 16" rear wheel for an 18", but is it feasible to swap a 16" for a 19" wheel?
I've currently got mags running disc brakes in both the front and rear. I'd love to swap them out for spokes on my cafe project. I know I can't get a 16" rear with disc, at least not a stock Yamaha rim.
I've got 2 19" spoke rims with disc on the right side from a Suzuki GT550 and am hoping to use the Yamaha caliper. Can anyone tell me if this is a possible swap? Other than likely needing to fab up a bracket for the caliper and a spacer(s) to make to make it all line up on the axel, is there anything else I'd need to consider?
I'm in no rush to do this before the winter, as I've got two tires with less than 500 miles on the mag wheels currently. I've been cleaning up some parts in the garage to sell, and I as I was cleaning the Suzuki rims, the idea popped into my head. If I'm crazy for thinking this can be done, someone please tell me.
