It is difficult to tell what its on the rear of this bike but it has a nice 26" up front.

That's definitely not a stock rear. It's stretched.

Of course it all depends on brand & components you use but you'll be in the ballpark for just the tire, wheel & rotors for around $2,500+ new. You can buy used for about $500 less.

nice one thanks for the reply

looking like sticking with the 21" for now then as would have to do the kneck and other bits too so would be a lot of money just to change to a 26"

That's definitely true. A 26" requires several other mods which add to the cost....trees, cut frame, rakes fairing or new headlight bucket, 26" front fender etc...
Do you have a 21" yet? I have one for sale. It's an SMT Silencer with Rotors, ABS bearing & an Avon tire. All that's required is removing your wheel & putting on the new wheel. You'll need to pull the front fender up & back, which just requires loosening the fender bolts & adjusting the fender.
