cb450 wheel swap questions

[jag767]

Swapped a sv1000 front end onto a cb450, and its cheaper to get an sv1000 rear wheel than change the front wheel to spokes. Exactly how nuts is this idea? sv1000 rear is a 5.5 inch rim.

5.5 inch rim takes a 180 tyre.


There's no way you'll get that into a 450 swingarm if that's what you're thinking.

I can go as small as 160 from what i see. I figured the need to fit a different swingarm, I was mostly thinking about sprocket alignment.
