17" wheel conversion done

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. :beer:

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

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 [] []\[] ' :)

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 , :lol: :lol:
