Reply #3 - 07/25/10 at 11:14:43 Looks like gsxr wheels on the first one and early 80s Suzuki wheels on the other 2. What is involved in doing the swap spacers and shims or machine work? Will the disk bolt up to the 80s wheels?

Reply #4 - 07/25/10 at 22:49:26 mine was a direct swap on the wheels and spacers. the disk needs to be spaced out and cut down. or swap the whole front end the front is a gs650 and the rear is a gs550. soon to swap the gs650 forks and trees. the tree mates just fine, but you have to do something with the steering lock or it will hit the tank.
