1200GS 17" cast Wheels

[Dave Atherton]

I have a 2005 GS1200 and want to fit 17" wheets front and back to take wider rear tyre and sharpen steering. Anyone done this? I see lots of 1150's with this conversion. Boxer Design in Germany sells the wheels (1200rt) but are hard to get hold of. Can anyone help?

Steve, Thanks for that, is there any alterations at all required, I have read that the offset on the rear wheel may need altering by machining off .150" and corrisponding amount off the hub?
How much better does it make your GS steer?

Thanks,
