Hello all .

I see the 2002 900SS used a 5.5 inch rear wheel with a 170/17 tire yet the 2003 and up 1000DS " SS " uses a 180/17 tire .

Is the swingarm different between the two bikes or will the 2002 900SS take a 180 rear tire ? Does the 2003 and up 1000SS use a wider wheel than 5.5 ?

Also , is there an internal dimension/size difference between the two bikes exhaust header and lastly , will a 2003 and up 1000DS fit and work in a 2002 900SS frame along with it's throttle body and electronics ?

I ask because I have found a great deal on a 2002 900S and would like to change it a bit if I buy it

Thanks in advance for any info you can give
