Hey:
The big ? is do you plan or do you have the wider rear wheel of a 90 as well. If you do or can get a 90+rear wheel (5.5x17), swingarm and brake caliper/disc assembly as complete as you can (axle and spacers) then it a very easy swap and just slides right in, as the frame side and shock stay as they are. Then you can go to a 180 or 190 radial tire with little to no issues as long as the front is a radial tire too. Good Luck with your project. The exhaust may need a little clearing on the left side if still stock but thats all, if I recall accurately.
