This help?
you can not see where I had to grind the master, but, you get the idea.
It was not very much material. It is rather thick in that area.
Notice the sprocket behind the plastic swing arm guard.

I am using a 40 tooth rear from a Husky I found on E-bay.
Yep, this helps. Thanks for the picture. I can see that it is quite tight around here?

I keep you informed as soon as the project moves forward or if I need some info in order to go and check used wheels.

Thanks everyone.

Having sm converted my own 300 I can tell you how I feel about this. My 300 is with the wheels you linked to, with Brembo gold brakes from an old ducati up front, std rear. 13-40 gearing. If you have the standard 45 zooks, you can order some new springs right away. Front braking makes the front forks hit bottom pretty easy.

Max gearing that you can find and fit on these bikes are around 14-40 or if your lucky, 14-38. Still makes commuting a bitch.

If you live in the city its OK. If you have roads where you can hit 70-80mph / 140kmh I would choose a bigger fourstroker.

Btw, 4,25 rear looks a bit thin and stupid. Does it job thought.

Hello Stian,

Thanks for the precisions. What do you mean by "Still makes commuting a bitch" ?
I will mostly ride below 140 kph (I live in the mountain).

Cheers

Antoine

You can go as small on the rear sprocket as the hub will allow, I ran a 35t rear without the chain run causing problems. I also fitted lower uprated springs, Brembo 320mm disc and 4 piston caliper, and a Magura front master cylinder. I don't recommend fitting Aprilia RS125 wheels, they are a lot of work to fit, but it shows thay almost anything is possible.

Hey WAZ,

Thanks a lot for those useful infos. That's good to know since I was afraid to end up with a too short geared bike once on the road.
I'll let you guys know as soon as I'll start the project.

Antoine

Hi WAZ,

The extra effort to fit those RS125 wheel was worth it. They look great.

Now where could I find a RS125 donor??

Thanks, Antoin

But I am stuck in the South Pacific Workers Paradise (NZ) and RS125 are not very common.

I've got a gs500 rear and a tzr125 front.

I had to turn down the outer diameter of the front disc to fit, then found bearings to suit.

The gs500 rear, same on the disc, but I also had to skim the thickness too, the inner clearance had to be filed out (could be drilled... I was in a rush!), then bearings to suit, and made spacers for both. The gs500 sprocket needs countersinking, as the nuts otherwise protrude and hit the swingarm. Currently using continental contitwist sm, would recommend the sport compound. If you need any measurements or pictures, pm me
