YZ80 conversion to BW

[pyrofreak]

Hey, i have a '90 YZ80. I would like to know if it is possible to convert this bike to the Big Wheel version. I heard that the only difference really is a longer forks and a 1 inch longer swingarm. Has anyone done this? Does anyone have any suggestions?

Apart from the wheels,the only difference is a 12-15 mm longer swingarm.You can use the big rear wheel with your old swingarm,but you wont have as much room for chain adjustment.....the springs in a BW is one step stiffer both front and rear.And btw,the wheels on the Suzuki rm 80/85 are the same.Only one of the brake disc´s are different,cant remember if its fr or rear...

My initial question, will the larger tire/wheel combo work?
