Hey guys, just looking into this as I'm starting to grab the parts for a GSXR front conversion.
I've found conflicting info about how easy it is to put the stock speedo on the rear wheel. Using the search function, I found this article:
http://www.socalsvriders.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=10167 (http://www.socalsvriders.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=10167) which says it basically slots right in, no need to do anything else apart from shim out the caliper so it still fits the disc.
However, I'm sure that I've read somewhere else that something needs to be ground down to make it all fit together correctly. Can't seem to find that particular how-to now, but it was a picture-by-picture guide if anyone else happens to have seen it :rolleyes:
The second thing is that I'm looking at doing this conversion before actually getting the front-end, just so that I can drop it straight in in one go. Since the article above states that the sensor can be put straight into the rear wheel after taking out the rear wheel spacer, logically it must follow that if you took out the speedo drive from the front wheel and put the rear wheel spacer in there that the front wheel would still fit in and be aligned correctly. Anyone know offhand if this would be the case? Don't really feel like pulling off both wheels at the weekend just to find out that it wouldn't fit together and have to put everything back to stock.
Cheers!
