Wheel & Brake upgrade
#1
Found a great example of a wheel/brake upgrade.  Check out this link for the original.
   

This is a quick translation of the original post:

Yamaha R1-Z Front end:
wheel, axle, forks, disc, caliber, fender, meter gear

Apparently it's just plug and play except for the front master cylinder, which needs to be swapped for a dual caliber model.

Yamaha R1-Z Rear wheel, disc, caliber, chain adjuster
Yamaha Zeal caliber support
Suzuki GSX-R750 Rear caliber master cylinder
SRX400 1JL Swing arm (Same as SRV but the axle is 17mm so you need to use the R1-Z chain adjusters which are the same15mm as the wheel.)
He doesn't remember if he used the SRV250 or the SRX400 pivot shaft, though they are the same size.  The width of the front of the swing arm is different so he's got 3 washers on each side of it. The end plates are listed as for the SRX400.
SRV250 Axle shaft (The R1-Z axle shaft is too short.)
Use 2 washers (spacers) on either side to make up for the difference in width.
SRV250 rear brake switch (With some modifications)

SRX250 Rear Step
Apparently the pitch didn't match up so he modified it. (See pictures) This mod moves the step back about 2cm.

The swing arm is longer so you'll need to change your chain.  520-120 link should do it.  Since the mount points of the rear suspension have moved forward, you need to make some adjustments against interference with the rear step. (Again, without actually doing the mod, I'm not quite sure what he's talking about.)
