The 1999 - 2002 Sv wheel has the same part # as the 1998-2002 Katana.

I belive you have to swap out bearings, SV uses a 20mm axle, katana is 17 like the GS.
Same wheel, different bearing and axle.
Cool.

NOPE,you need GS wheel bearings,use the brake rotor for the SV wheel,and the GS sprocket carrier.If you need the caliper to sit lower on the rotor get a 98+ Katana 600/750 caliper bracket.
