Motard conversion, wheel troubles. .

[atomik140rocket]

Hi guys i have a atomik reign bigfoot 17'/14' wheels. And after purchasing some 12" motard wheels and tyres last week from atomik being told they were a direct fit. a quick trial fit yesterday the front wheel appears not to clear the front caliper. Also the spacers are way wrong. The long and short of it, after consulting atomik their tech advice was to return the wheels with the receipt, within 7 days.... not helpful. So can anyone advise what i can do to make them fit would be hugely appreciated. What size spacers ect ect. Cheers Dean

Hey dude. Looks like you arnt coming to parwan aye.

What do you mean by not clearing the caliper. Like is the disk hitting the back of the caliper and not spinning or is it not the right spacing?

Hey sorry wife had better plans lol. Sorry. First tried to fit wheel with caliper on the actual tyre wont clear the caliper. Then removed the caliper fitted the wheel with just the axle with no spacers but cant get the caliper back in as in it wont clear the tyre. And the spacer problem is the small spacer fits on the disc side but the gap on the other fork the gap is tiny

Can you fit the rims up with no spacers with the discs and sprocket fitted and try to measure from the bearing surface to swing arm/fork leg respectively when in the best position for the disc through the caliper?
