I have a 900rr frame and swing arm with a complete 600f2 fork assembly so that I have the 17" front wheel. My dilemma is that the guy I purchased this project from threw on a 600f2 rear wheel onto the 900rr swing arm to get it rolling.

1. Can I just use 600f2 rear spacers and axle, etc with the 900rr swing arm?

2. Should I just put a 600f2 swing arm onto my 900rr frame?

3. Find a 900rr rear wheel assembly and just run the 180 rear tire?

The reason I ask is that I have a brand new rear 160 tire mounted on the f2 wheel matching the front f2 wheel already and I have a f2 swing arm from a donor bike that could be used with an extra f2 rear wheel on it. I'm thinking of just selling the f2 swing arm and both rear wheels and just finding a 900rr rear tire but I'm having difficulty finding a 900rr rear wheel since all of the 600 guys want the wider rear wheel.

 

Measure. You need to figure out whether the spacing is the same, whether the alignments would be the same, whether the shock would mount, etc. Your best bet, if you have the parts sitting there, is to pull the swingarm (great winter project) and put the new swingarm into place. You can then figure out what mounts and what doesn't mount. That should give you an idea of whether you can safely fit new spacers or if it would have to be what we used to call "pelican engineering" meaning hacking things together.

 

Ive decided to go with a correct 900rr rear wheel setup. I got a complete axle with spacers and tensioner blocks already. I took the 600f2 rear wheel and axle off the 900rr swingarm and will be selling all of the f2 rear brakes, swingarm and wheels on ebay

 

Even easier.

How do you work ebay shipping for something as big as a wheel? I've sold a lot of stuff on ebay over the years but it was generally smaller.

I've also noticed, looking at ebay listing because I have this F2 I'm parting out, that people are selling stuff with free shipping for a price that appears to be about the cost of shipping. Fans and engine covers, for example. Working fans for $15 when a fan can't be shipped to most of the US for less than about $14. Seems like it just isn't worth it and I wonder what the business model is. Perhaps they are getting some screaming discount from the post office so that they are making five or six bucks per item and working in bulk?

 

UPS cheap freight not "Ground" so it can take longer. Ive noticed they're shipping very lightly and using USPS bubble bags for smaller stuff.
