I have been doing a bit of work on an old yb9 1995 and have noticed the rear wheel is too wide. There appears to have been a lot of bodging to make it fit. The random collection of spacers has been puzzling me for hours! The parts diagram would suggest the current arrangement is a long way off and probably unsafe.

I can get the parts to attached the rear calliper correctly but I believe I need a new wheel with the correct dimensions. I can not find suitable yb9 wheels so can any body suggest alternative wheels with the correct dimensions. FZR600 possibly?

Why not simply get the current wheel spaced correctly........

Stockcar, this is my train of thought but it would be nicer (easier) to get it back to factory. The problem is the extra width of the wheel requires the caliper to very (too) close to the swing arm. Refitting the existing wheel could work but its not ideal.

I'm getting some quotes for parts now!
