sv wheels on a gsxr front end?
 

Hi just wanted to know how to fit a sv wheel to a gsxr front wheel.
I've a k6,k7 750 front end and I can't get the proper wheels to fit which is why i'm looking to go down the route of fitting the sv wheel.
Also what years of gsxr disc will fit the sv wheel.
Thanks in advance Brian

I'd hold out for the proper GSXR front wheel if I was you. The GSXR wheel is cheaper than the SV one and is far less work.

that was the plan but the gixer wheels are impossible to get a hold of and I have 2 sv wheels

Well, that was bad timing. I need an SV front wheel and I've just sold a GSXR front.

GSXR SRAD front wheels never go for much less than £75 in a bidding war on Ebay and about £125 for buy it now.
The later model fronts go for £25 more. You can't give rears away.

I got 2 x SRAD wheels for £100 but they needed spacing to go into a GSXR K1 front end. They are lighter than SV wheels though.

and I've got a spindle thats machined to allow the fitment of said wheels to a K1-K3 :) Perfect match.

ive a k6 k7 front end and srad wheels dont fit it thanks anyway.

It is possible to use a Sv front wheel on a GSXR front end, but mine was a 1992 L or M GSXR front end, so not as nice as your later model, its a lot heavier.

A special spindle and spacers was made up, to use the Sv front wheel, with the added benefit of using the standard SV speedo.

Have a look in my albums

Its better than stock by a long way, but I'd love to do it with a later front end

You can use a front wheel from a K4/5 GSXR 600/750 front end, just fit disks from a SV1000. Works perfectly.
I bought a K4 GSXR 750 delkevik wheel and the bearings and spacer for the K7. No problems.
BUT I also have a from wheel off a K3 SV650S spare as well.

the only other problem is the gsxr discs are bigger from k6 on
