Fitting CBR600 Wheel (or probably not!)

[NedSVS]

i got a 05 gsxr 600 rear wheel can i fit that to the sv has anybody tried it.

I tried an earlier GSXR600 wheel and it was too wide at the hub, so I'm not optomistic that it will fit. A quick measure with rule and straight edge will tell you what tou need to know, i.e. sprocket and brake disc alignment. Bandit 1200 wheel is the known way to go for minimum hassle on fitting a 180 rear.

I have a pair of carby SV Dymags that I may be selling soon, bit scruffy £500 the pair.
It depends on the sale of my bike, if it stays i'll sell the front and keep the rear.

before I fitted the 1200bandit rear wheel I bought an Srad750 rear and JHS racing said they could get it to fit but it would be a bespoke fitment and couldn't tell me how much it would cost. So I sold it on Ebay and bought the Bandit rear! As for the wider tyre it looks so much better and you get a bigger contact patch!

I know this is an old topic, but I'm really interested in the F3 wheel conversion.

Can you tell me how this is done as I can't find anyone in the Netherlands.

I'm also looking at a Bandit 1200 wheel, but can't find a conversion kit.

Is your bike a pointy or a curvy? The rear was relatively easy - the front wasn't! You are going to need some engineering skills or help from someone who has them and suitable tools including a lathe if you can't find a conversion kit. I seem to remember there was a kit available on an American website - but that was a long time ago.

The conversion kit is still available on TWF site, although its for GSXR rear wheel.

You need to send the sprocket carrier & brake carrier

My curvy has a GSXR rear wheel conversion, but I bought a bike with it done before I got it

I have been meaning to post the final outcome for ages - as someone has resurrected my old post I think the time could be now!
I always intended to swap the Honda CBR600F wheels for Marvic Pentas made for CBR600F3 - but I had to wait a long time to find a pair at sensible money. After crack testing, powder coating and some new bearings they cost me a bit over £500. The wheel refurbishment work was done by Steve Turner at TPCS:

He did a great job and emailed me photos of each stage.







Before someone asks - the block of wood under the sidestand is to keep the bike as upright as possible for photographing.
