Default Front wheel

I have a 2001 (curvy) SV650S and am after a front wheel.

To increase my chances of finding one for a good price, what other bikes share the same wheel as my curvy?

Are curvy and pointy wheels interchangeable? Do other Suzuki’s share the same front wheel?? E.g. GSX??

I beleave that the RF bikes had the same front wheel, not sure of what models though.

Ive got a RF400 knocking about in my front garden, but as the wheel is black i will swap it for my silver wheel, hopefully it fits, if so i will have a spare silver wheel.

Cheers for the responses. I know someone with a bandit 6 and a bandit 12, so can have a looksee.

TSM - I’d be interested to know if the RF wheel fits.

Any we know fit for certain?

I *Think* TSM's onto a winner with early (pre 2001 ish) Bandit 600s, and RF 600s. From memory the Bandit 1200s have always had different front wheels.

No, it's K series bandit ones that fit! They share our calipers and forks. Also GSXF 600 are ok, possibly the 750 too.

Early bandits had 110 fronts (later changed to 120), and Nissin brakes, no good. An early one has curved three spokes.

Will the SV speedo drive still work using a different wheel?

Cheers, what years were the K's? and are we talking bandit 6 or 12 (or both?)
