Hi Piero,

removing the swingarm and putting the new one in doesn`t require special tools, just the usual and maybe a rubber hammer and a torque wrench.
Just figure out how to make the bike stand stable when you remove wheel and swingarm.
If you don`t know age and condition of the swingarm bearings you should change them, now that the swingarm is not yet in the bike.

according to the 17" conversion info (that can be found in the downloads thread) it`s 5mm thick, inner diameter 20mm, outer 35mm.

stange only 5mm of thickness,it seems to me strange the brake caliper support on the other side of the rim is 17,9 mm of thickness :wacko:

have you checked the files again ?
But I noticed there`s a difference. You say your brake adapter is 17,9mm, the one of the guy describing the 17" conversion is 10mm. In that case your spacer should be even thinner :!:

MMMMMMMMMM i have done a wrong in measurement the caliper bracket is 29,8 mm :shock:

i take this bracket from a monster 900 and it's the type with caliper positionated down....

Piero, try to ask Zap. He has Supersport wheels on his bike, maybe he can tell you what brake adapter he used and what spacer.

sorry I didn`t think of that :banghead:

, then of course also the before mentioned spacer is probably incorrect as the 17" wheel conversion (file) was done with the original swingarm also.

I don't have my 907 swingarm back from being welded because of some sprocket bolts that backed out, but I do have a 907 caliper bracket and a wheel with sprocket carrier from a '94 SS900 (4.5" width) if there are any measurments that I can help you with.
