| So I finally fished for long enuff on eBay and scored some stock | |
| Behr 17s w/rubber for about $740. Good score. | |

| Been riding her on the 17s for a lil' bit now. Took some | |
| adjusting, but I like it. | |

| Did you have trouble switching from 21" to 17" on the | |
| speedometer? Any tips beyond what's in the go-by listed on this | |
| site? Looks great BTW. Where'd you get your rims and how much | |
| did they run you? | |

| Yeah I hope to do the same later this year, I'd like to know | |
| what issues you ran into or what needed to be altered for the | |
| conversion. Any thing need to be relocated? New wheel spacers? | |
| adapters for brakes/rotors? Anything? :-\ | |

| When I mounted up my wheels I did a spin test front and back and | |
| found the front to be more troublesome. I didn't have to cut the | |
| fork guards at all, but I did have to secure the brake | |
| line/speedo sensor lines to the fork guard itself. The wheel | |
| woulda worn through the lines in short order. So all I did was | |
| drill two small holes next to each other and warbled the out a | |
| bit so a thick zip-tie could fit. Next problem took me a bit | |
| longer to figure out and fix. I rolled the front during the | |
| initial fitment and heard a very light grinding noise. Didn't | |
| figure much of it since a new rotor was being used. Well, I'm | |
| sure this was part of the noise, but turns out the new rotor | |
| bolts were chewing up the speedo sensor. Crap! Didn't find this | |
| out till I tried recalibrating the wheel size and I ended up | |
| taking off the front wheel. Turns out the sensor was salvagable | |
| and all I had to do was grind the bolt heads down a bit with my | |
| dremel. So the fitment didn't bring too much trouble my way, | |
| just spin those wheels and listen fer wierd noises. ;) | |
