I had a few of these in my toolbox surprisingly. 4mm thick washers that were the right diameter for the axle. one of these each side and away you go. In my signature below I have a link to how I did my wheel swap.

Did you use a 38 tooth sprocket?

Hey Greg, yes I used an 18/38 combo when I did the swap. The bike still pulls like a train but cruising is so much more relaxed, approx 3400rpm at 100km/hr. I don't have to change down a gear when overtaking for example, just wind on the throttle and go. The Gearing Commander website is a great tool for playing around with sprocket/tyre combos etc http://www.gearingcommander.com/

Hey Ray (and others) with the 4mm washers on each side, have we verified (with straight edges) that the GSXR rim is centered with the front...or is there an offset?

Thanks lads

I still haven't checked this Pat. I have a slight pull to the left (not sure if its related), but these holidays I will be checking for proper alignment using straight edges.
