Some of you may know my bike from the projects section "GSX 1260 project. Making it better, Fuck yeah”
Long story short. As I now no longer need a cable driven speedo I now no longer need a speedo drive from my front wheel.
I am using GSX-R 1000 2007 front forks and calipers with an early 1200 Bandit front wheel. It occurred to me that as I no longer need the speedo drive from my front wheel that maybe I could just slot in a 2007 GSX-R front wheel and discs.

Thing is though I had custom triple clamps ( or yokes in old money) made up and do not have the measurements to hand at the moment as my bike is on the other side of Melbourne. It was pointed out to me that the yokes may have been made specifically to accomodate the Bandit front wheel and if the Bandit front wheel hub is a different thickness to the GSX-R wheel hub then the GSX-R front wheel will not be a straight swap.
After market discs are a bit limited for the Bandit wheel but there are many and varied after market discs for the GSX-R wheels.
So, can anybody tell me the width of the Bandit hub and the width of the GSX-R hub where the disc carriers bolt on to. Hopefully they are the same thickness and if so then hopefully I can start looking for GSX-R wheels and discs. ;)
