Have a 1978 kz1000, looking for advice. I have an aftermarket swingarm one inch wider than stock. What spacers should I get? Starting from scratch. Rear wheel is a 16" with a 160 tire stock 78 ltd mag wheel

If its 1" wider than stock id have 1/2 wider spacers made for each side.on the right side of bike youll need the wider spacer between brake caliper/bracket and swingarm,not between caliper and wheel B)

youre running a 160 tire on a stock rim? :blink: normally a 130 is about the max to run safely on a stock wheel

I bought it like that. Sure it came of a dragbike.

Yeah, that's awfully wide. I'd seriously rethink that...

If it has tits or tires, it'll give you problems!

Is it possible the some stock mag rims were wider?
