Title: Front Rim Swap?
Post by: Andy.tech on April 10, 2017, 12:14:40 PM
Hi, just wondering if the front Katana wheel will fit the GS front forks. I know that may have just changed the entire front end but I really didn't wanna go that route. I already did the Katana rear wheel swap so kinda wanna get something with the same shape spokes.

I don't know about the later Kat wheels, but the early Kat wheels are identical to GS wheels. I really can't imagine the later Kat wheels would give you too many problems.....

Go for it!

There are a lot of things that could be different with the later Kat wheels. Hub width, disk offset, bearing/axle size differences...etc.

Without comparing the wheels side by side, or talking to someone who has, you won't know.
