SSSA wheel bolt spacings

[maximus]

hi everyone,

got a vfr sssa which i thought was off a 750 but am not sure now. the bolt c/c spacing is only 70mm not hungy. is this off a 750 or 400? and if so will it take a car wheel with 100mm centres?
Also has any body tried to modify the bolt size to take a 5 bolt/ stud car rim?
any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not 100% sure but 70mm sounds like 400 territory, the 750/800 have 100mm I'm almost positive.. not sure how much trouble it is but 5 stud is achievable.. 1st pic is YZF Exben did, but he also made the wheels for that bike.. it could be worth asking him for more details.

Also here are some dimensions that could help you out with maybe narrowing down what swinger you have your hands on..

Honda VFR ('90-'2003+), Hawk, RC30/45, NSR250 all use the same relative rear wheel offset. i.e. mix and match wheels amongst the various models and so long as the spindle face is unmolested the wheels will remain centered.

90-93 VFR (shock linkage mount is two lobes on bottom of swingarm)(shock end is a 'fork')
Length: 565
Pivot width: 242 (+3.5 thrust collar)
Pivot diameter: 20
Eccentric outside diameter: 105
Eccentric width: 70 (+3 crenelated 'edge')
Caliper carrier diameter: 75
Caliper carrier width: 14
Brake rotor diameter: 255
Brake rotor mount diameter: 110
Sprocket mount diameter: 175
Wheel drive diameter: 100

94-97 VFR (shock linkage mount is one lobe on bottom of swingarm)(shock end is an 'eye')

Sprocket mount diameter: 175
Wheel drive diameter: 100

Hawk (shock is direct-mounted to top of swingarm)(shock end is an 'eye')
Length: 545
Pivot width: 235
Pivot diameter (right): 15
Pivot diameter (left): <22
Eccentric outside diameter: 105
Eccentric width: 70 (+3 crenelated 'edge')
Caliper carrier diameter: 75
Caliper carrier width: 14
Brake rotor diameter: 240
Brake rotor mount diameter: 100
Sprocket mount diameter: 165
Wheel drive diameter: 100

RC30 (shock linkage mount is two lobes on bottom of swingarm)(shock end is a 'fork')
Length: 530
Pivot width: 235

If your spacing is 70mm there is no way in hell a wheel with 100mm spacing will fit.
Making it 5 stud is easy if you have a milling machine:D

yea thanks guys, does the physical size of the swingarm differ between 400 and 750 ie will a 400 arm be strong enough?

Hey Mark This might sound obvious but you are measuring diagonaly across from stud to stud, not to the adjacent one aren't you ?

thanks ben. you know, you never stop learning! hey this is why its great to have such a wealth of experience in this club. oh and some times you just have a blonde moment.[:I]
i still want to look at modifying the stud pattern to suit a 5 bolt wheel lets me go 18inch and offers more selection
