GSXR front end - axle question UPDATED WITH PICS PAGE 2 HELP

[21QUEST]

yep , you have an SRAD wheel.

You don't need an SRAD axle. What you have is what you need.

Fix is as outlined by Robw#70 although it is quite possible to use it without cutting it done. My second SV with a GSXR frontend done by one(if not the best) of the SV specialist came like that ie spacer sticking out.

Alternatetively you can just use a 3.5mm ring between the flange of the nut/spacer and the forks. If you want to do that (I may be able to sort that out for you tomorrow. Let me know what you decide to do.

Cheers

EDIT: It sticks as a result of the difference in centre to centre measurements of the SRAD and K series yokes and the height of the bearing from where it bottoms on the hub. The SRAD axle won't make a difference. Using that , you'll have even more ofthe axle sticking out as it's a bit longer.

thanks everyone your stars

Ben - Would defo be intrested in a 3.5mm ring would neaten things up a lot.

Assume I may have to space the calipers a touch?

Nah , the calipers would be fine just bolted up.

As rob said earlier the would be off by a little bit(.5-1mm) but that is not a problem. Just 'back in' the pistons in the calipers(don't have to go right in) before mounting and pump lever to get them to the discs once everything is torqued up.

Cheers fellas,

Your all owed a pint or two in my book.

Im at Motoliner 1st thing to get the disc straightened so may see if they can take 3.5mm of each side of the axle for me.


Neater than using my angle grinder
