Post by: sandspider on February 12, 2014, 04:20:06 PM
  Hi All

  Still collecting parts for wheel swap . I can get a 1994 gsxr 1100 wheel with everything included but , I see that wheel has different spokes compared to the fzr wheel (not to much difference ) just wondering if anyone had a picture of their bike with that wheel !  Just to see how it would look .

Thanks for you time  :hi:
Bill

PS My fzr wheel hasn't been deliverd yet to compare to the gsxr wheel

Hey Bill, just to clarify, you want a picture of the GSXR *rear* wheel, correct?
The GSXR front wheel uses a larger axle than the 15mm dia. FJ axle.

The pictures I have seen posted on the rear GSXR swap shows the same 3 spoke wheel design as our  late model FJs and the 87/88 FZR1000/750 front wheel.

I don't know what year Suzuki moved the Gixxer over to the lighter 5 spoke or 6 spoke design.

Hi Pat

I wanted to see the wheels on a bike . fzr front wheel  and the 1994 GSXR 5-1/2 x 17 wheel The spoke are supposed to be a little different than the 90 - 92 rear wheel gsxr , according to the KIT KAT write up. I haven't got my Fzr 1987 1000 wheel here yet and have nothing to compare the gsxr wheel . to see how they would look on a bike ! I thought if some one had a pic of their bike with this wheel swap. I did go on line and dig up some pic's of the 2 different wheels but wondered how they would look on the bike
Thanks for your time
Bill
hope this helps

 The FZR front looks identical to the 88-93  FJ wheel. The only difference is the width of the rim.

Yea John, we know that.

Bill, what is the difference you see with the '94 GSXR rear rim?
3 straight spokes or...?

The FZR and FJ has 3 angled spokes...

 Ok
I see the difference with those pictures you have ! The pictures I found online were a little hard to see the difference. That probably  won't look to bad with different style spokes when I powder coat them black.
Using the 87 FZR 1000 front wheel which I bought but have not received yet and the  94 GSXR 1100 rear wheel complete package ,that I can buy locally at a good price ( If the Kit Kat Black write up is correct and is a straight bolt on so to speak with some 4 mm spacers !
Thanks  Again  :scratch_one-s_head:

Hello Bill, the '92 GSXR 750 or '94 1100 wheel is an easy swap. Yep, just 1 x 4mm washer each side and it all lines up spot on.

I've got a little pictorial in my signature below,  :good2:

 Thanks X ray

I looked at that pictorial very nice  :i_am_so_happy:
All I have to do is decided which spoke design to go with . The straight spoke , looking one or the slanted one that matches the 1988 FZR 1000 front wheel that I'm waiting on !

Bill you may have to play with the spacers a bit.  I used a 93 GSXR 750 wheel and had to change out one spacer with a different size.  No big deal just heads up.  In 1993 Suzuki did a small change to the swing arm linkage which changed the center line of the tire slightly so they changed the spacer combo to adjust.  That's out of memory from when I did mine.

 Thanks George
One thing did everyone change the sprocket to 530 chain size or is it already that size ? on the GSXR 
Thanks again
Bill

All of the info I could find, is that the 90-95 GSXR750 used a 530 chain. A good idea to buy a new sprocket when you do the wheel swap.


42 tooth, keeps OEM ratios

38 tooth, lower RPM's at freeway speeds, minimal acceleration change, better gas mileage.
