929rr 954rr rear wheel fitment
 
I upgraded to a 929rr front end, and am interested in converting to a 929rr/954rr rear wheel to widen it to a 6 inch lighter rim and run a 200 rear tire. Any one done this wheel swap, or know if it can be done? I emailed several people on ebay asking for width of wheel outer bearing to outer bearing. I know the bearings are different, but they can be replaced.

Anyone know of a 3 spoked wheel that is 6" that would fit the bike for sure?

I know 6inch rims have been used but not so sure about 200mm tires. Might want to get some measurements first.

I have a 190
 
I have a 190 on my blue hawk, I'm pretty sure a 200 will fit.

200 section tire
 
Even with the proper width rim it may still adversely affect the handling.
The VTR doesn't "need" a 200.
But as we all know, it's not just about "need", it's the "want" that really get's us in trouble.

You'd be better off going to a 190/55. It affects the handling less.
