    Rim swapping

    What year GSXR wheels are a direct swap? 18" on both ends I believe? I'm running spokes wheels, need one rim to make it look better. With the prices I am seeing on spoked wheels Im wondering if I could trade someone for spokes? Or buy some out right.

    First generation GSXR use 15mm front axle and 20mm rear axle, same as a GS ,at least a 1000.With a gs1100 aluminium swingarm you can fit a up to a 5.5 rear wheel.
    You will need an offset front sprocket, look for a kawasaki KZ splines, same as suzuki spline but easier to find and cheaper.

        If first generation GSXR wheels fit GS1000 axel's, how about brake disc's, calipers?
