Hi guys,
I know this has been covered so many times before, but after reading so much contradicting information I am know more confused than ever ![]() Now this is we're I get confused, would I be right in saying that the stock sv650 front wheel and spacers fit in the k6 gsxr 750 forks?? And if I use k6 750 radial calipers I can also use my standard brake discs without any spacers? If this is not the case will I need a k6 750 front wheel? Also there is the question of what I do with the speedo sensor, what is the best way to make it work? I thankyou all in advance any advice will be greatly appreciated. |

no the wheel does not fit. you will need a GSXR wheel from 2000> and a K6> spindle/spacer.

Great that's very helpfull information thank you. I see from your profile picture that you have completed a gsxr conversion. What combination of components did you use? Was the change fairly straight forward for you. I'm still a little bit puzzled about what to do with the speedo sensor too. How did you overcome this?
Sorry for all the questions, but I really appreciate any advice or information that I can get. |

yup biggest problem is finding a decent front wheel. TBH any wheel from a GSXR 2001 onwards will do. the later K6 onwards have different bolt hole pattern and the discs aren't as readily available. that's why i use a 'diamond' spoke wheel and early 320 discs with K6 callipers. it's a weird combo but works great.
as for handling lets just day that you don't get vision blur at higher speeds and it sticks to the road like shizz to a blanket if set up/serviced right. but the biggest improvement is no more pogostick like symptoms ![]() worth it? YES can it be done a different way cheaper and have the same end result? YES |

Well worth the time and money upgrading then lol. I have found a TL 1000 front wheel, that according to the guide that the link you posted took me to, will work with 320mm rotors. It also says that with the k6 gsxr 750 radial calipers I will require a spacer of 5mm. Now does the spacer fit between the caliper and the fork leg? Or are they ment to go behind the rotors as they bolt up to the wheel? I really do appreciate you time given in answering all my annoying questions lol

the TL1000 wheel does not fit it's the same as the busa/erly GSXR one, what does fit is the SV1000 wheel as its the same as the GSXR.
the only and i mean the only wheels that directly fit are GSXR from 2001 and SV1000, no other wheel will fit unless you are prepared to do some modification or get spacers made. its the outside to outside bearing width and disc centres you need to match up. if you had access to a machine shop then you could take 1mm from each face of the disc inside mating surface and reduce the wheel spindle and nut by 3.5mm this would let you use an earlier and cheaper wheel. given the cost of machining it's not worth it unless you have the facility to do it yourself. |

here is an example of the 'diamond spoke' wheel: (notice the ridge to the top of the spoke)

Machining could be an option I have access to a lathe and mill at work. Have you seen a guide any where about what to machine down and how much to take of? I would like to use a wheel that is of the same design as my stock sv whell if possible
Somthing Like this http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/vie...id=51292576303 If not I will have to wait for a k1 gsxr front wheel. What do I do with the caliper spacers? Thanks allot |
