sorry to the rest of You international members.........or learn danish ;)

Hej Klaus!

Den ser sågu da helt fornuftigt ud din mobik, er det akslen vi handlede du har brugt på billederne?

Jeg er ikke gået igang med 907'eren endnu, min står stadig hos Finn i sorø, og han er i Syd Afrika, men er tilbage imorgen
så skal den hentes og bygges op igen ,med stumperne fra modellen fra holland.

Tillykke med projektet, ses måske i sæsonen derude et eller andet sted.

As Finnpaso said we need these facts recorded, but the question I ask is it ok to leave the front wheel as a 16inch rim and just change the rear to 17inch that way you still have the quick stear front and a fat as rear? very much like the modern day bike :phone:

Hi Crusher
I would go, and have gone, for the complete package. On the front you get the benefit of the 320 Brembo disc's and that makes a huge difference. And regarding steering, what I have experienced, is that the steering isn't that much different from the 16". You will benefit much more in regards of tyre choice.
Regards
Klaus

On the subject of purely looks, i think the most striking aspect of the 'before' picture is the WHITE oscam wheels, i think the bike would retain more of the original look if the gold SS wheels were also painted white as they are visually similar, i believe it would also clean up and lighten the overall effect. Still a v. v. nice bike. My 2c Jon :beer:

Now the 907 swing arm mounted, and the handling is great. :thumbup:

paso 750. The 907 swingarm is I think the best choise to go for together with a 17" wheel conversion. And I was just lucky in finding one for the right price.

DaveM. 160/60x17 but I would think 170/55 or a even 180 would do it.

and the chain still aligns correctly ? Did it also with the old swingarm + 17" wheel ?
I`m wondering. A 180 16" hits the tire a 180 on a 17" rim not so the rear sprocket should moved more outwards on a Brembo rim which would need correction at the front sprocket or am I thinking wrong ?
