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,

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.

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
