Default 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

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

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