    GSXR1000K3 - GSXR750K4/K5 wheel swap

    Does anyone know if the wheels + brakes from a 2003 GSXR1000 will swap over into a GSXR750k4/K5?

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    Front does but the rear hub is too wide

    DB is the new Porridge. Cause most of the mods must be sucking his cock ..... Or his giving them some oral help? How else can you explain it?

    correct front is same 300mm dics

    rear is wrong since rear on 600/750 = 5.5" where rear on 1000 is 6"

    i am sure it will work with some right spacers, but its not straight bolt up.

    i would think be fine

    the front end of the gsxr 1000 is got heavier springs than say 600/750
    brakes from a k3(single pad per piston) is better than the k4/k5 brakes.

    i do have a picture chart somewhere showning gsxr fork sizes i see if i can find it and post it up

    just did a quick search on gixxer.com

    say 6" will fit, just use the spacers that are on the 1000.

    attached is a list of the interchangeable rims for the 600/750 k4/5

    Sweetas, was thinking of using the 6'' to run a 190/55 on my mates 750, but it should work fine on the 5.5".

    As long as the front end will swap over then our main problem is sorted.

    Refer my answer to your pm, the GSXR1000 forks are not a good choice due to excess friction in the cartridges ( very poor tolerancing ) and a very poor compression piston. It costs a lot of money to make these forks work to an acceptable standard.
