Hi guys !

  I'm wondering if a B600 rim can be mounted into GS swingarm ? I have a good opportunity. 88-89 GSXR750 rims are not easy to find, and expensive.

  Thanks.

Yep, you just need a few spacers.  If you need the schematic for the spacers, let me know, and I will e-mail them to you.  Any machine shop can make them for you.  I had my son make me a set for a B400 wheel.  If you need a set, let me know.

  Hi, and thank you for the answer and the spacers.

  I needed a quick answer because I went to a " second hand market " sunday morning. I saw a lot of B600 rims and finally found a 88 GSXR750 rim for 20euros ( 25$ ), and a 160/60 sport tire for nothing.    I'm very lucky.

hey D-day, how much for a set of B4 spacers? ive got a B4 wheel and would like proper spacers insted of all the washers ive had to use.

I will ask my son.  Shouldn't be much.

Let me know as soon as you here

im putting a bandit 600 wheel on at the moment, ther have been a few issues, but nothing a kiwi bodger like myself cant handle, the biggest issue is the axle, the bandit is larger, but the outside diameter is the same so i have put in new gs bearings, this also means you have to use the gs caliper bracket(ghey as it only touches about 1 cm of the bandits smaller disc) i went with the bandit caliper bracket, this means though that i have to get a collar to fit inside where the axle goes through, not really a major, the next issue is the torque arm. i have gone for the bandit torque arm as it has a better bend, and its slimmer. although i wont be getting a 160 tyre on that rim, (150 is on there at the moment and clearance is about 5mm)
so with a bit of bodging and alot of grinding to the bandit caliper bracket it fits
oh yeah im using the gs sprocket carrier, that fits perfectly, and using the gs bearing spacer on the other side.
ill post pics tomorrow
