17'' 18'' swop

just wondering if you can interchange an 18'' and 17'' wheel on an nc30 if you have done the RVF Dogbone mod? wondering if I can have my 18 with a 92 on for winter riding (with the same on a spare front) and then have something stickier on the other set for track days or does that not work? cheers fellas.

you can run the shorter (higher) linkage with an 18, just means the rear is jacked up a bit (not tried it yet though).

I used to run an 18 and RVF linkage until I fitted the RVF rear wheel and if I'm honest, I never noticed any difference. Only noticable difference was going from 090's to SC2's.

I do it Joe - have the RVF linkage, RS250 shock and run 18s on my No9

To be honest I never noticed any difference either when I swapped from 17 to 18. Price of 17" wheels seems to have dropped a bit over the last few years.

No worries at all man. If you like, I'll set it aside for you as I'm in no rush to sell anything TBH. The monies are getting put aside for a new bike but that'll probably not be until the new year now.

Sure thing. I'll need to get the front swapped over to the 090 so that the SC's are matching for you.
