thats gsxr wheels on a gen 2 busa with a custom rotor



you will have to have a custom rear rotor for the rear and the front you will need spacers . I am the only person to make the rotors and this kit is 100% right

 

[gunn4hyr]

My buddie bought a set of 1000 wheels for his gen 2 busa and they are a whole 3 lbs lighter for the set. same tires and sprocket. not hardly worth it IMO.

GenII Hayabusa wheels weight. Bare wheels.No rotors,bearings,etc.
Front - 9.9 pounds
Rear - 12.65 pounds

2005 Suzuki GSX-R1000 wheels. Bare wheel also.
Front - 8.6
Rear - 11.6

Note:Both wheels use the same bearings/axles. The rear is a direct swap. I dont run a rear brake,so there may be some modding that needs to be done if you do. The front,you will need to run 1/8 inch spacers on each side & the 1k internal wheel sleeve.

I have a conversion kit for this. Rotor & spacers
all forsale. $200

There you go, those numbers look more realistic to me. I think the numbers Johnny D was using were for Gen 1 busa wheels versus GSXR 1000 wheels.

Not too much of a gain for the wheel swap.

Gold wheels

Its worth it just 2 get rid of the gold wheels on blue bike.I had one and sold it cause the wheels made me wanna puke

 

[Darkforce]

ANY weight loss in rotating mass is worth looking into:2thumbs: I wouldnt go "overly" out of my way to do this wheel swap:shrug:But if you have a spare set(like I did),its one of those,"Why not?". ALL I/you need are the 8th inch spacers(You can keep your 200 buck stuff:whatever
...I personally like the gold wheels. I put them on my limited edition colored 08. When I had the wheels powder coated,I went with a different shade of gold that was more in sync with the color of the busa emblem on the side.
Hope what I have posted helps the next man trying to do this because nothing I read (initially)issed:helped me & I included some before & after pics:buttrock:

 

[badazz1000]

so if I wanted to put 05-06 1k wheels on a gen1 busa I need what again or does any one have a set of busa wheels?

 

[3thahardway]

I dont know what all you will need to make the 05-08 wheels work on a first gen busa:shrug: I only know about the 2nd Gen conversion. If you can find a good deal on GenII stock wheels,I would look into those also for a upgrade(weight wise)over the 1st Gen
