Front wheel swap?

[seany1212]

Ive got an MOT test coming up (tests bikes for faults for countries that dont have MOT) and one of the problems that its going to fail on is the front wheel and the fact that its warped. I was wondering, other than the bandit wheel i know about is there any other wheels that will fit the front with little modification?

89-97 Katana 600/750 use the same front and rear wheels. Just different colors and do not have the front left side plastic hub cover.

You will pay about £15-20 for a decent 2nd-hand GS5 wheel from a breaker and another £5-10 to have the tyre swapped over and balanced, thats the easiest solution......unless you particularly want to swap it for something else.

front wheels are always the most difficult of the pair to find because they are mostl likely damaged in a crash

The German Wiki has a write up on using the 98+ Katana Wheel in the GS forks.It's 3 or 3.5 inches wide.Here's the Wiki.It should be translated using my link.

It make take a minute for it to translate to English,but then it's easy viewing.

Thats way too steep.....you gotta haggle with them and bargain them down. There are plenty of them about, my try mate Bertie at Berties Breakers up here in Chorley.
