Title: WTB Front wheel
Post by: Blinx92 on January 08, 2008, 07:56:43 AM
I am rebuilding a 92 gs500 and need a front wheel.  I've been searching on ebay and the only time i finally find one for a reasonable price...i don't have the money!  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

fyi... 89-97 Katana 600/750 use the same front and rear wheels as the GS.

Bandit 400 uses same front wheel as well.

I have a set of white '93 wheels in my storage unit. They did come off of a parts bike that was laid down in a ditch and I never checked the runout on them. I'll try to get them out of storage in the next week or so and check 'em. I'll give you a good deal on them if they're straight. Where are you located?

Careful. The Bandit 400 wheel I have did not have the rotor holes on the right side. I had to drill and tap them.

Good to know, thanks D! I apologize for the misinformation...I thought they were drilled on both sides under the bearing cap...

I believe the rotor holes are drilled already, cos both the B4 and the GS use the Katana wheels. 2 disc wheel, you just remove the cap I believe.
Cool.

Maybe you did not read my post that the B4 wheel I have did NOT have the holes on the right side.

Huh ... strange, the GS wheels I believe are drilled and tapped both sides, and a plastic cap is put on the other side ... or maybe only 89 and some early years before the GS became a separate production line.
Cool.
