fitting sv wheels to gsxr front end
 
is there anyway a sv wheel can be fitted to a gsxr front end

depends, you would have to change the bearings and then somehow space the disks out or space the calipers in a fair bit, not worth the trouble

as above... but someone on here did do it, i think it was on a silver curvy and the name began with an M. I think. I think they had a spindle made to fit the SV bearings to the GSXR forks.

Yep, it was me! It can be done, have a look in my picture albums and see the special front spindle I had made for me.

I can't take the credit for dreaming up the idea, but it can be done. Depends on the front end you're going to fit as well. The spindle and spacers wouldn't be difficult for an engineering firm to knock out.

Wish I'd done this, speedo's been a right pain in the ****.

I take it you used stock calipers as well?

Different hole spacing where they mount, and no point.

Maviczaps is GSXR slingshot parts so probably easier to do than SRAD or later. Personally I don't see point of using slingshot parts because using SRAD or later is so easy and they are better parts.

You'd have to use gsxr fitment calipers regardless of wheel used I would have thought, due to the mounting.
