08/09 rims on a 92GSXR?

[Jon McGuirk]

Has anyone seen them on a oil-cooled yet? or even know if they'll fit?

[MrMagilakutti]

Won't fit.The axles on newer bikes are bigger and I don't know of any bearing swaps that will work.I've seen it done but the bike has the new style radial brake forks and custom swingarm.

[1216 Bandit]

I have a set of Carrazzerria's on my Blackbird.
They have 25 mm bearings and the bike has 20mm axles.
That's the same dimensions you have.
Custom spacers have to be made up, but someone handy
with a lathe should have no problem.
Probably more work would be getting disc offsets correct and chain alignment correct. I've done a couple swaps like that and some are harder than others. I have no experience with your particular wheel swap...Hank

Yes yes yes they will fit on a 1992 gsxr 1100

radial mount brakes have nothing to do with the wheel fitting.

06 gsxr 1000 front wheel bearings are 25 mm

92 gsxr axle front is 20 make a reducing sleve to get the axle size rite

the rotors are the same size and are the same width apart from each other plus or minus a few mm

next the calipers are shimable like when you put on performance machine calipers they come with washers from pm to shim the calipers center on the rotor

The rear wheel bearing is 28 on a 06 1000 wheel

the bearing on a 1992 gsxr 1100 is 20 mm

again just make a sleve to make up the difference in the bearing sizes just like you do when you put on rc wheel in a drag fork front end.

swing arm width is 10 inches on a 92 gsxr

swingarm width on a 1000 molly arm and stock is 10.25

so if you can make the wheel shims it wil go rite on

I have done this before and it took me one day to do the front and the back. I will do it for you if you cant get it done.

Also if you got a molly arm or a custom arm being built or putting blocks in the back of a factory arm you can make the slot big enough to just use all the 1000 parts like i do by just shaving down two bushings and it goes rite on


So to be blunt they go on easy as any other wheel will

Thanks, guys. yeah, i happen to know someone pretty damn handy with a lathe. I didn't want to buy the rims, and end up fu**ed. I'll post some pics when i get it done!

[moondogspot]

Whar kinda arm you gonna do ?

I might could save you some time

Why not just change the bearings?

[moondogspot]

I tryed that , about 3 miles from my place is an industrial bearing distributor. He and i couldnt find the bearings to make this a direct bolt on, also you would have to make the sleeves for the middle of the wheel , and still make a reducing sleeve for the brake caliper hanger on the rear and still have to make spacers to center the wheel up , so it was just alot quicker to make reducing sleeves that pass threw all of the suzuki factory parts, kinda like dont reinvent the wheel.

The easiest way is to make your swing arm work with the wheel , not make the wheel work with the swingarm.I have a mill so i can slot out the factory adjuster slots and make new adjusters if the factory ones cant be bored. It is easy to have your arm stretched with blocks for a busa or 1000, and there you now have the correct size axle.

As i said before cut down two factory sleeves and the stack withe will be correct.

The front 1000 wheel is all together not gonna work, by changing the bearings , the hub is much wider than the gsxr 1100.So your rite back to making the spacers, so why not save your money and make reducing sleeves.Plus it is real easy with this set up putting the wheel on an off no fighting with loose spacers.

What he said.

Working on an old CB750F Honda right now and had spacers made for a set of Busa wheels. Using a GSXR oil cooled frontend and a Katana 600 mono shock arm. Had axle adjusters made too.

I've had this done a few times but i need to buy myself a lathe so i can safe a few $$$ in the long run.

[Jon McGuirk]

the arm is a 6-12 over, watercooled arm. Im going a different route since i just got a wicked lookin bead lock rear rim. again, ill try postin some pics when im finished. gota find a front cowl before i go any farther.

[Watercooled1100]

i have a set of 08 1000 wheels on my 93 watercooled i swapped the whole front end out just pressed the watercooled stem into the 1000 clamps and it fits like a glove.

also made sleeves to fix the rear axles and 1000 bearings difference...

bike lost alot of weight changin the wheels and front end also allowed me to lower it more and it deraked it alot which i like keeps the front end on the ground

All you need is a good machinists that knows how to set them up. Its a matter of step spacers, axles, brake hangers and/or adapters, and knowledge.
