Twin AH Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Greetings all.......... was wondering if anyone has changed the 4,5 rear on the V-11 Greenie for a 5,5 from the next Generation V-11? I know that you can exchange the 4.5 from a Rosso Mandello to a 5.5 but not sure if there would be room on the Greenie for the same transplant? Thx in advance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Rosso Mandello has the same frame and subframe configurations as the early RedFrames. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuzziMoto Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 You should be able to go either direction, although I can't imagine why you would want to replace the 4.5" wide earlier wheel with the wider, heavier, later 5.5" wheel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do decide to "upgrade", just keep in mind that any improvement will mainly be cosmetic, and it will probably decrease handling performance. For reference, I run a 160 width tire on a 4.5" wheel, and my modified V11 is likely more powerful than most. The "narrow" tire is just peachy on it, and I have no interest in anything wider. But, with that said... to each, their own... so if you want to make it happen anyway, more power to ya. I believe people have made the "upgrade", so there is probably some info to be found by searching the forum. __Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
