I am buying a cheap 2007 CRF150R small wheel and I want to turn it into a big wheel. Do I need to get a whole new swing arm or can I just slide the larger wheel right back in the swingarm?
Thanks!

you need the bigger swingarm.

POSITIVE.

The 16"/19" big wheels will fit the small wheel bike. You have to run the rear right at the very, very back of the adjustment to clear the front part of the swingarm.

There's really not a whole lot of room to work with. Getting the RB (big wheel) swingarm is the best way to go if you can.

Hmm ok...
Hey does BBR make a big wheel swing arm? I'd buy one for sure
And do you think Red rims and black hubs would look better than Black rims on red hubs? Thanks

We don't actually offer swingrm for the 150R's. You would need to get an OEM unit off the RB model from your local dealer.

Hub and rim color is 100% personal preference. Red rims / black hubs would be different.

There are several motorcycle salvage yards that advertise regularly on EBay. You may be able to find a used one.

Yeah I'll take a look around. I will probs buy a big wheel now anyway coz the one I was looking at got sold

Meh gives me all of a reason to spend a bit more on a newer bike

.
Do you think it would look good with black frame and swingarm?
I suppose I would need to do the rims too. Red rims? I have had black rims way too much, I need variety.

I like the black frame with red rim look. But about all my bikes I have ever owner were flat black with red accents. even my gear. I suck.

Hahaha nah, thats always a good look. Most of my bikes have been Black and red. Or black and orange for KTM. My look on my 450 is white, red and black, so looks a bit better. But I would like some blue radiator hoses and blue chain to set it off.
I am buying a stock 2007 CRF150R big wheel. Has Pro Taper evo bars, thats it.
I have some brake resoviour covers to put on, ASV levers, and stock CRF450R footpegs. Hopefully I will find a nice cheap exhaust to put on.
If anybody is selling one, let me know.
I would like red or black rims, and I am planning to powder coat frame black.
