Hey guys,
I think I can help with some of the info.
GHN in Germany make a rear wheel adaptor set as well as complete replacement wheel & adaptor sets (using 2nd hand RGV/GSXR wheels);

Lance Gamma makes various versions of brake caliper adaptors which bolt onto the original forks;

I've also got step by step guides on how to install an RGV250 vj22 swingarm (2 methods) if anyone is interested.
Cheers, Markus.

Got some nice Dymags from the SV650, will let you know how easy to fit once customs let them go but from what I have been told, it is an easy fit.

Hi All, saw this thread and am hoping someone has this info as am part way through trying to fit an RGV wheel into an RG500G and its not working !!
Anyone know dimensions of spacers, sprocket carrier mods that may be required etc?
Fingers crossed as its now autumn and I will be 'hibernating' in my garage for the next few months
