Weight of an SV/SRAD/GSX-R/TL front wheel?
 
Hi,

I'm in the middle of a fork swap on my 1999 SV650.
I've bought a K1-3 GSX-R600 fork, but I still need the wheel.
For the sake of looks I'd like a wheel from a TL, Hayabusa or SRAD model, but for the sake of weight, I find a K1-4 wheel og perhaps even a K5-> wheel more interesting.
However, I can't find any weight data on the rims. :(
Is there anybody who can link me to the data, or know the data themselves??

Thank you in advance!

Keep the rubberside down,
Niels :cool:

Are you sure the SRAD/ TL etc. wheels even fit your k1-k3 forks?
Only reason I ask is I don't think the k1+ wheels fit my SRAD forks

There's a difference in width of the hub. A friend of mine has rainwheels for his K3-trackbike from a SRAD or TL. Is requires a different "nut". The pistons in the brake caliper will sit differently, but it works fine.
I'm just curious of how much the weight difference is.


Edit: I just found this link with some sales talk :-)

I weighed a curvy front wheel last night (to work out shipping costs). It has bearings and disks fitted and was 7.3kg

Hope this help :cool:

Not really, but thanks anyway. :) I'll note it and make a table when I get more data :smt045
