Polini 910 5" wheels, upgrade to 6 or 6.5"

Anyone upgrade their polini 5" wheels, to 6 or 6.5" wheels (rims and tires). What is needed, and cost entailed to do this upgrade.

I was thinking of upgrading the stock 5" wheels to bigger tires and rims. Actually, I really want to do this. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

just did it. its actually 6.6 inch in the front, 6.1 in the back. You can buy the kit from Midsouth, or just buy a rolling chassis with the bigger rims and swap it over.

kit includes:

Front 6.6 inch wheel and corresponding tire
Back 6.1 inch wheel and corresponding tire
Longer headstock
911 forks
911 triple clamps
All appropriate hardware

Stock, and Upgraded. The Suzuki bike had the kit on it, the black bike was stock, i swapped them over.

Nice. The suzuki fairings...did you buy that from loco (i think that was his SN).

Anyhow, how much did everything cost you?

ya, loco. Rolling chassis with big wheels was 350, stock 910 was 900 last spring.

Oh ok. Yeah I wanna upgrade to at least 6" wheels and rims all around. I'll do a price quote from companies and see what I get. Thanks.

I bought my 6.2 for 850 last month. Not bad considering its a team replica, with a race pipe already installed.

i dont know if they make 6" wheels. You may be able to fit up 6.5's, other wise its 6.1 or 6.6.

Cool. thanks for the advice.

Conversion looks nice, Kid.

Thanks man

Kalez,

Does your front rub on the fairings? Mine does a little. Check my gallery and let me know. I posted up my pics of the bike.

Kid, how come your wheels are staggered? A friend of mine did the conversion with 6.5's in the front and back.

Nope. I noticed on the fairing that came with the Rolling Chassis that it was trimmed down. I got out my dremel, put them side by side, and cut the black bodywork to the right amount (which was whatever has been taken off of the Blue bodywork). Then I installed it, and never had a problem. I think 1/4" would do it. It is the Forks that are rubbing, not the wheel itself right?

I'm not sure. Thats just how it came. The rear end will fit a 6.5 for sure, with no modification, and now that I have the 911 forks on the front, a 6.5 should fit up there as well. I was thinking of going the extra mile and getting 6.5's for the front, but now I am selling the bike to get something new for next season, so it isnt worth it.

What are you looking at for next years series?

Im looking for a RR 4.2

Hey Kalez

I see that midsouthminimoto has a polini 910 to 911 front fork conversion. Is this all that is needed to do a conversion?

As long as it includes the longer headstock, Yes.

Thanks for the tip. I'll be purchasing a 910 rolling chasis that's already modified to accept the 6" wheels.

Hi guys if I've been running 6/64 on 5" wheels what is the equivalent on 6'5 rims?? 6/66,6/68,6/70???????

Well a 6/62 with 5" wheels is equivalent to a 6/68 setup on 6.5" wheels...so I would assume, a 6/64 is equal to a 6/70 on 6.5" wheels.
