Even easier than that, you can swap to a set of custom made spoked 17" wheels, which more than one of our forum members has done. That doesn't require new swingarms or suspension or any permanent mods of any kind.
thanks but I'm pretty committed to a CBR 1000 USD front w/17-cast wheels (either Carrozzeria wheels, OEM CBR wheels or possibly these wheels from EBAY:
mostly concerned about fitting a 6" wide wheel between the axle space of the CB1100...I can fab the necessary caliper carrier stuff....
