I cant find the thread,

Trying to put 07 rear wheel on my 04 with o4 swingarm. caliper is very far from the rotor...?

Thanks,
-Brian

 

if i remember correctly you will need all the 04 wheel spacers and then you also need the smallest of the two 07 spacers

use the small 07 spacer on the right side of the wheel and then either space out the rotor or space in the caliper

 

i know it's a crappy pic but you can see the two spacers and if you look carefully you can see the spacer i used to move the rotor out



from the left of this picture you see the red wheel , aluminum spacer for rotor , rotor, stock 04 spacer , smallest 07 spacer , caliper bracket

 

Thanks omr, i put the spacers in like that but i didnt know you needed to space the rotor or caliper. maybe ill just run the 04 wheels lol, what did you use for spacers?

 

i spaced the rotor out with an aluminum ring but i have a lathe to make spacers on , if you don't have access to a lathe it would probably be easier for you to make spacers for the caliper and just move it over

 

Off topic, but Bubash. Did you bent your sub frame back successfully?

 

um i was told that for the conversion u need all the spacers from the new wheel, the one that goes between the swingarm and sprocket is actually bigger than the 04? Not for certain as i have yet to put mine on yet, im gettin em powdercoated first and then i am putting them on. but i do believe thats all you need?

 

well my wheels are actually 06 but i thought they were the same as the 07

 

good post, ive been looking to put 05-06 wheels on and was wondereing what was needed

 

Bubash, just get the 05-06 swingarm. You can probably find one cheap as hell and they look much better.

 

I got a 05/06 swingarm, shock and linkage for sale. lol

 

don't you have exhaust issues then ?

 

Even if you do, you can just come out the bottom like *****... looks sick like that

 

too loud

 

problem solved


and if you run a aftermarket exhaust there is no problem it is just the stock 03-04 exhaust is hugh and ugly

 

I know that the wheels and rotors fender and everything is the same. Im pretty sure the swingarm is also the same. But i also have a set of 05 06 wheels and i just got a whole new axle with all the spacers and i looked at them and the sprocket side spacer is a good 1/8 to 3/16 of an inch bigger so i think that will work. Im looking to do the swingarm conversion just cause it looks better. Just keep the main things on the 03 that are better. like the subframe and frame thats bout it!

 

With a different can it's probably not bad...

 

you need to use the 03 04 spacer if your gonna use the 03 04 swing arm or the chain wont line up with the sprocket .

 

Good thinkin. I never thought about that

 

Apfire- I was messin with the wheel and forks and never tried my luck with the subframe.
nags- My frame is silver and i dont feel like painting it at this moment, so i was just tryin to do the wheels until i have more time.
