Finally got my conversion to 17 " wheels done. Two years ago I had the opportunity to get a 907ie swingarm and 17" hubs from a 900ss so I went this way. I can see now it would have been cheaper to go the other excentric mod way and stay with 16" - but I am still very happy. I personally like the looks and the feel when driving, plus I am happy to have the stronger front brakes. The hubs are hand painted, so some day I will have to get them powder coated.

Bike looks good, and also good to see the kid picking up good habits of getting on the bike with all the gear.

Re: 17" wheel conversion done
Looks awesome - and the front tyre profile looks a lot better than my 130/60/16.
AND - those wheels are going to be a piece of cake to clean!
Protip for other Paso wheel cleaners: I went out and got myself a big plastic Toilet brush, with long, stiff bristles. It makes cleaning the Ozcam wheels a 5 minute job, and they come up []D [] []\/[] []D [] []\[] '

Re: 17" wheel conversion done
Yeah , funnily enough toilet brushes are real good at removing shit, so much so that there are certian brands of motorcycle that should NOT be cleaned with a toilet brush least they dissappear completely, and anyhow why did you have to go buy one special , didn't you already have one ,Mobius wrote: Protip for other Paso wheel cleaners: I went out and got myself a big plastic Toilet brush, with long, stiff bristles.
