wraith Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Hi and welcome to OS's☺ you can put a b6 or the 4.5" gsxr rear wheel in the gsx swing arm, the b12 yoke stems are longer than the rest of Suzi ones but can be done or put a gsxr front end in as same stems and berrings. Quote Link to comment
banoffee Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Welcome. Best to ask the tech questions in the air cooled section. Quote Link to comment

KATANAMANGLER Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Bandit 6 or SV 650 ( they're the same) rear wheel fits with the appropriate spacing and a little machining of the cush drive for chain alignment.. you'll get a 160 tyre which is plenty wide enough. A teapot 600 0r 750 caliper works if you want to keep the over slung s Bandit 12 front end is long enough and the brakes make a big difference. 1 Quote Link to comment
Big-Daddy Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 Thanks for the advice :-) this is my first old bike i have had , the plan for it is to make it a bit more modern in wheels frame and brakes but stil to keep it look like an "fast" bike of the early 80' have spent some time om evil Bay this afternoon and a fork og an gsxr it must be Quote Link to comment
