yes it will, but you MAY need to machine a 9mm spacer for the right side of the axle, lots of people have done that, but i recently done a 09 600 front end into a k2 gsxr thou and didnt need to fabricate or machine anything in order to get the wheel central, so install and check.

and andy, if your having issues sourcing a front wheel and rotors let me know, i can get you a complete 06-09 front wheel including rotors for less then what that wheel is going for.

cheers.joe.

Any bearing shop really, I changed the ones in my Bandit from Balls to tapered, also the R1, I get all my bearings from Bearing Dynamics about 2 mins from my front door, bout $15-$20 each tapered bearing.. so $40 front end done, great upgrade.

[xa-mont]

What advantages to tapered bearings give you over balls?

[Gitzy]

Wear and Stability I am led to believe.. anyone care to add??

[mattymagoo22]

They will also handle higher loads than balls...

[holyman_999]

^^^He said 'loads' and 'balls'!!! Hahahahahahaha...[:p][:p][:p]










I'll get my shit and leave...[B)]

[craig]

The smaller contact area of the ball can leave an indent on the bearing outer making steering notchie.

[mattymagoo22]

this can happen on any bearing, its called brinelling, it often happens when heavier vehicles sit in the same spot and are continually bounced/vibrated ( like on a ship or car carrier ) or a bearing is installed incorrectly.

P.s holyman_999 the ball bearing can also be called a ballrace or 'annular'.... bearing...:D gedit;)

should have asked me. all i do is bearings. oh well, maybe next time.

ps. all the all balls bearings are chinese aswell. might be alright but you end up paying mega bux for a bearing that he probably pays about $3 each for.
