Africa - Change Adventure Rear From 18 to 17 Inches?

I'm considering changing the rear to be able to fit hard road tyres that aren't available in 18s: Michelin T66, Metzeler Tourance, Bridgestone Trailwings etc and for wider availability of 17 inch tyres.

Deserts and MT21s are available in 17s for the off road bit.

I'll change the gearing as required.

Does anyone have any experience / comments on this?

Yes

Jerome, I also have the same idea - what did you end up doing?
