Pop-up Wheel Swop

Any suggestions as to what wheels would/should fit my S3 to upgrade to 17" front and back without too much major surgery? If I can keep the standard swingarm for now so I don't have to modify the shock mountings etc that would be handy. Front - spindle diameter an issue? More sense to swop the entire front end/suspension/brakes?

I've a chance of a set of CBR 6 spoke wheels (120 front/160 rear so probably from a 600) and I recall Mr7/11 did a conversion on a slabby years ago on the early OSS site that wasn't too overly problematic and looked good so that may be an option.

Any thoughts?

Cheers, P.

I've got bandit 400/ 600 wheels in mine with a gs500 sprocket carrier.

Straight swop? Spindle diameters the same?

Yeh pretty easy I believe, my mate did it for me. Had to make a couple of new spacers I think. Used original spindles.
