TL front wheel into gixxer

[Richd]

Hello to the wise ones,
Apparently a '99 TL 1000 front wheel will fit my '00 GSXR 750,the main differences being the spoke shape and the distance between the the discs is 2mm wider on the TL.This obviously puts the discs 1mm out each side.My wild imagination tells me that the pistons will compensate for this by self centreing but probably not much more than this.The discs will clear the calipers no worries.What do you boys reckon? thanks Richard

im sure it will be fine mate 1mm is not to much to worry about

mate had a busa front in my gixxer thou with the same prob as you have i didi't use any spacers etc just plug and play so to speak and had no problems at all

Thanks lads,I scored this wheel real cheap and figured it'd work,relief to know it will.Indeed the Busa wheel is the same item as the TL som she's all good.Nice work

the tl wheel should be too wide for the gixxer, i had carrozzerias for a gixxer on my tl and needed spacers for the front.

Your right I ended up scoring an '02 wheel to be sure and keep the spokes the same cheers

If that TL wheel won't suit your purposes I'm interested in it PM me if you want to off load.
