I bought a set of 92 Bandit GSF400 wheels awhile back for one of my street project bikes, mainly for the 4" rear wheel and since it has the same spokes as the GS.
The front wheel did not have the rotor bolt holes on the right hand side; the Bandit rotor is on the left. The wheel was cast for them though. I have since drilled and tapped the holes to mount the right rotor so I could use dual rotors with Katana forks. GS and Katana wheels have the rotor mounting holes on both sides.
As for the rear...the hub is narrower and the outside bearing-to-bearing distance is less by about 8mm. This is, from what I can tell, all on the cush drive side. Then, when using a GS cush drive it moves the chain close to the tire. Shimming the sprocket helped a little. A B4 cush drive should not have this problem but I do not have one, yet. I have installed a 150 Metzeler M1 tire. I was able to shim the wheel with a couple of spacers to get it to fit. Good thing I have plenty of parts from other bikes.
These wheels are not vary common but I just wanted to let everyone know of the potential fit problems.
should have asked me... I could have told ya that....I did that swap.....in 99-2000
it is easy to fix at least...
Well you should have known what I was doing...well you would have if you would come around some time.
