4. GPz900R - Streetfighter - The Wheel and Brake

The GPz rear wheel had all the bearings removed, and installed into the ZZR wheel.

Then a mix of ZZR and GPz spacers were used for the internal spacing, and the external
spacers were modified from the GPz external spacers.

At present the rear wheel centreline has a 2mm right offset, which is being addressed.
I guess this is normal practice when fitting a new rear wheel.
That is why I mentioned the 'centreline' as being something to measure in your
conversion process, in the original blog.

See how it looks.
Not a bad effort I reckon.

Damien likes the style of the 2003 wheel Spokes over the Original wheel spokes.
You can see below. Nice rolled look.
Have a look at my Spokes in the Original blog for a comparison.

For reference, the wheel was sourced from MotorCycle Disposals for $140 complete.
Great price.

Next, the brake bracket was completely fabricated to purpose.
The inner spacer from the original brake bracket, remember I called it the sleeve-spacer,
was welded to the newly fabricated bracket.
Then the original single-piston rear caliper was measured and fitted.

Note: Damien is looking into making a new bracket, to fit the twin piston rear caliper in the future.
So when this is done, I will update the info here.
