The Sport is much easier to change to 17" than the Paso. The rear is as simple as getting an entire rear wheel from an SS or Monster. Brake caliper, hanger, wheel, sprocket carrier, etc. Keep the stock axle and slip it in. 4.5" wheels are generally much cheaper than the 5.5".

The front requires a bit more, as the brake mounts are your biggest problem. The second problem is the speedo drive. If you have access to a machine shop, you can download a CAD file on Bauke's site.

There is a bit on Bauke's page on converting, or on the http://sport-classic.net/ site, which has a topic for the Sport.

Cheers,
