It’ll check my rim sizes tomorrow if I remember. I’m running wider 18” rims with standard forks and swingarm.  Can’t remember rim or tyre sizes, but it’s running the same size tyres as an early GSXR I think.

 

Thanks, tough looking bike

I suppose it depends on what hub you are using ? if its a wide one then the spokes will be further apart. the size (width) of the rim won't make any difference but a wider tyre might !!!!!  are you using kat forks ?  

Yes standard Kat forks

Okay wire wheel gurus, can I go to a 2.5 x 18 front rim without anything fouling? Spokes hitting calipers etc. tia

Finally put my Katana 1100 on the road. 

Passed mot with flying colours, now done 240 miles on her, steering is very light with the stepped top yoke/gsxr usds, goes round corners so very low with ease, lot's of grunt from new rings/hone, just had the bike on the Dyno so sorted carbs. 

Fireblade yokes?

Apologies if this has been asked a thousand times.  Are the 750, 1100 and 1200 motors physically the same size.

Thanks
