17" Wheel Conversion Fireblade 1999

Post by Garvey2003 »

Hi all,

Does any one know how I would go about converting my 1999 blade from a 16" front wheel to a 17" front wheel. Tyres are getting harder and harder to get for the 16" in swindon and suring the winter I like to run the bike on Part Worns and New tyres in the summer. I use the bike everyday come rain or shine. You just dont get part worns for the 16"

If any one knows how what I would need, How to do it then that would be great. If any one knows of any one who could do it for me too in case I need a special tool or something. Again please let me know

Cheers Guys and Gals!

Call a guy from Greame France on 07778628448. I'm 90% sure he does the conversion.
