The tire is a 100/90, but I thought the origional tire filled the fender more. The disc is a GS solid rotor. I just had the O.D. turned down to match the O.D. of the Savage rotor. The Savage has a min thickness of 4mm and the GS is 4.5. My pads had just a little wear, but the thicker GS rotor fit in real easy, and I don't think new pads will cause any problems.If anyone was concerned about it, they could just have the rotor thickness machined down to that of the factory rotor, there is plenty of meat. I used the GS rotor because it has a lot of offset, which after I got the axle spacers rite, only required the caliper to be spaced in 5.5mm. This really is a easy thing to do, just took me a lot of test fits with the axle spacers because I had nothing to go by. I think anyone that can remove and replace the wheel should be able to do this. My cost was less the $100 for everything involed, but I was already running a tubless tire on front, so if someone bought a new tire at the same time, cost should be $200 or less. One thing that is really important, is if anyone decides to have the wheel powder coated, to not have the O.D. of the wheel hub where the rotor goes, powdered, otherwise the rotor won't go on. I'm not completely sure how much I took off of the axle spacers, because I got busy trying to fit it, any lost track of the measurments. I scribbled some things down, but I don't think they're correct. BTW, there was'tn any modifications to the bearings, they are allready the rite size, ditto for the rear wheel I'll be using.
