I am running a 17" wheel.(99 ZX6) Since I was going monoshock I decided to use a 5.5" wheel and brakes stc... its all in my build post.

if using a different swingarm and welding shock mounts keep in mind the brake mounting a few guys have run into having to have a bracket fabbed for the caliper. it's generally easier to use the stock brake setup of whatever the swinger came off of

I also ran into different axle sizes on different swingarms bought 3 swingarms before I settled on the ZX6 BlackBanshee has to do his magic it's not a direct fit (until he's gone with it)
