| Depending on how old your SS is you'll need to get some machining done. If you've got a late model you may well have the same size spindle as the SBKs (25mm). In that case it appears to be a straight (ish) swap. The earlier you get the more work is involved.
For example with my 96 SL I'll have to get one spacer made up for the right hand side and then I'll be able to use my own wheel. I could also buy a SBK wheel and spindle and then it should all just drop in....
Our slab sided SS's have callipers with 40mm mounting holes, the same as earlier (pre-99(?)) SBKs. The later ugly SSie's have, I believe 65mm spacings, as do later SBKs.
I'd guess it's not a job to be doing if you're not comfortable unless you get a dealer to touch your bike, but from what I've been told and seen if you're prepared to work on your bike anyway you shouldn't have any problems. |
