hi i once read article in gpz uk about changing back wheel on a1 gpz900r to later model zzr600 but site closed does anybody know how to do this or have site for it

There's a GPZ9 on e-bay right now with what the seller claims is a ZZR6 back wheel - maybe drop him a line.

Cheers,
Brian

Hey there
My GPZ has he zzr back wheel and front end... Makes handling alot better and corrects the understeering prob when going hard into corners. So yes it can be done. Unfortunatly being a mere woman I didnt do it myself but can give you the details of who did if your still intrested?

Some one was offering 9 parts for free a couple of weeks ago
You can search or maybe they will pipe up

That was me, although some of the parts have been tossed out already. Let me know if there's anything specific you're after, and I may have it sitting here.

Cheers,
Brian

Hi Girlrider, I'm keen to know what have you done on your GPZ cos I wanted to restore mine as well. Cheers.

the UK web site with all the answers is; www.gpzzone.co.uk
Aussies have a good section with lots of guys doing the swap to fat tyres.

hmmm id be interested in this as i picked up a gpz900r last night and any info on mods to make it "better" will be handy

You might want to looks at the GPZ Zone in the UK - plenty of info there for the GPZ900.

only problem is they want you to pay for it and im not one to pay for something when i cant see myself what info they have available

however if anyone else has this info could you pm it for me as ive heard we can use zzr600 and zx600 front and rear wheels and that the zzr1100 front setup (forks triples etc) other then that i have no other idea as the people ive seen that have had it done (online) ive asked and never got a reply or theyve just said they payed someone to do it so they got no idea

so any help would be great as im due for tyres soonish so would rather if possible get it all swapped over and getting new tyres rather then getting tyres on stock rims then having to get another set after the mods done if that makes sense


cheers

i found this site it may help!http://www.gpzfighter.co.uk/how-to/how-to-fibreglass-body-panels-together

Has anyone done this swap? I am interested in doing this as well. but also like phear8me I would like to know that what I am paying for is what I want.

No-one has said it yet so I will. Gotta love the 9.
