Hey man, I ride a 1993 CBR 1000F. I have a 190 rear tire on it now and didnt have to change anything as far as swingarm goes, just take off the chainguard. I wouldnt go too much bigger than that or it is gonna handle like a bigger slug than it does anyway. Just my $.02[&:] If you have any other questions about these older, but fun, bikes shoot me an email. shane_workman@insightbb.com

 

Hi Mustang!

I beg of you, start talking... [8D]

I have an 88 Hurricane and would love to have some modern sized rubber on there. I had a pair of 600F3 wheels, but they weren't even close to a match. I thought someone told me that the mid 90s CBR1000F wheels were an easy swap, but I don't have any details. One thing that I would like to do is keep my gear driven speedo.

So, how did you do it? What are the parts needed? Who is selling the kit that you mentioned? You are my wheel swapping Yoda.

Thanks!

 

I believe yo have to swap the swingarm on anything older than a 92, correct me if I am wrong greymustang. Then you can put up to a 180 rear on without rubbing on your chain guard. Sans the chain guard and you can do a 190, I think. The newer swingarms from a 92 and up CBR SHOULD fit your bike with little or no mods, I think.

 

So I have to replace my swingarm with the wheel swap? Hmm... I know I have room on my current swingarm-I just need a wider wheel. If I opt for the swingarm swap, do you happen to know if the lengths are the same or if there are any other differences? I'll have to check in to this and see what I find out. My other option is to have the stock wheel widened. There is a place in Stockton I think that will do it but it isn't cheap. I would be happy if I could fit a 160 on there, but a 180 would be OK too. Thanks!

 

Ok here is what you need to do it right. Swing arm,
rim, brake stay arm and caliper, and spacers all parts
from same year 90-96 1000f

the guy i know is in the navy and is out on the ship right
now when he gets back i'll see if he cares if i post his email
and then he can give you prices for the kit
here a picture of his bike he got the 208 on his
i know the kit is not cheap but not that bad

i call a junk yard and they wanted around 650
to unbolt the swring and send everything that was on it

Hmm. That has me wondering... I'm curious as to why the swingarm needs to be swapped. I have plenty of room for more tire as it is (I think). I'm pretty sure that I'd lose the inner fender though. If a swingarm swap is necessary, I'm wondering if the newer swingarm has significant changes outside of the width. (longer, different size at mounting pivot, possible geometry changes that may effect handling etc). I would love to have a newer CBR for a few days to play with and see how this swap would unfold. Remind me why I wasn't born into royalty one more time.

Damage caused by severe abuse and neglect by previous owner. All 4 pistons looked like this-compression was around 110 psi and top speed was about 110 if I tucked underneath the paint and ran WFO.

Flipped forks, Mustang? Good Lord, some one did some serious work getting THAT to happen. Did that require custom tripple clamps? What are the forks off of? And what is that pipe off of? It certainly can't be specific for a Hurricane. I bet that is the mystery bike at your local riding spots. Hell, if I run into anyone under 30 years old at the parts counter they think I'm high when I tell them I have a 1987 CBR 1000. Kids these days... hehehe

I just added the stiffest springs I could find (Race Tech) up front and a WP shock out back. Lindemann absolutely ripped me a deal on that rear shock. I'm amazed at the ground clearance I have with a new shock and springs set up for my weight. It's no contender for the championship, but I'm quite pleased with the bike all things considered.

 

the forks or off a gsxr 1100 99 i think that what he told me
he had a custom tripple clamp made he said that
it was no big deal doing that the exhaust is two brother full system
they still offer full system and slip on for our
bikes do you want his email addy so you can
talk to him about the rear wheel thing
he told me to give it out to who ever is interested
in the wheels you will have to wait for about 10 days before
mailing him though because out to sea he will be back in 10 days


nice bike just like mine

Yeah, I'd like his email address if he can help with the wheel swap. That would be great!

Are you still able to run the speedo off of the GSXR front wheel?
