I just won a katana rear wheel on ebay for $65 shipped  :) and i was wondering if was it possible to swap to a katana front wheel so that they match.  It doesnt really bother me that much that they dont match, but i figure if its easy enough why not.

That wouldn't happen to be an 89-98 katana rear wheel would it ?
It will definetly match the front GS wheel, dont worry.
Cool.

its off of a 99 katana 600

Cool, it won't entirely match but it's not really that noticable. The GS has straight spokes and the katana wheel will have swooshed spokes. As long as there the same color not many people will notice. Hell, my kat wheel is gray and my gs wheel is white but all people seem to notice is the polished lips  ;)

Yes the 99+ Kat front wheel will work.It's a direct swap and it's 3.5 inches wide.Just remember to swap the dust cap on the gs wheel to the Kat wheel.

Thanks ben.  How about the SV650 wheels these match the katana wheel too.  Anyone tried those?

Ha Ha my front wheel is black and the rear kat wheel is silver. But no body notices 'till I tell them.

I have not used the SV wheels but I'm told that the rear is the same as the 99+ Katana.
