boilerdude Posted August 19, 2017 Posted August 19, 2017 The front rotors are a different offset. Other than that is there any difference between 1st gen bandit 12 wheels and slingshot wheels for swapping between bikes? Quote
fatblokeonbandit Posted August 19, 2017 Posted August 19, 2017 fronts are a straight swop, 5.5 inch rears depends on which years, I cant remember whjch ones but some go straight in some need the spacers and caliper hamgers from the wheel...i think theres a list on here somewhere 1 Quote
boilerdude Posted August 19, 2017 Author Posted August 19, 2017 (edited) Ok I have all that stuff. Just havent gone to try it yet. I recently bought a 750L in so so condition. but it has these wheels Ive wanted for years now. In very decent shape. I'm thinking about selling the 750L back out there and keeping these wheels for a clean blandit build or my E Those are just google images to show the wheels.

boilerdude Posted August 19, 2017 Author Posted August 19, 2017 (edited) there's mine. Brought out of rural indianapolis area. The flatlands. Mulletville for sure. Painted with incorrectly placed gsxr750r "RR" logos which it is of course not. Mikuni rs38s on it but they are pissing out everywhere and corroded and the throttle is stiff as a rock. I'm going to probably have to scrap those for cvs before I can even street it. Oh it's a 7/11 btw. V710 serial on the motor. But it does leak out way too much oil to ride as well and the swap was done halfass with still the 1100 oil pan on there. resting against the exhaust... Tires are cracked. been sitting for years. Chain and sprockets. All that. The grips and some of the cables and bolts are tarnished and rusty and ugly up close. Inside the tank is fair... Bike does have legitimate 7000 miles but it was drag raced for a lot of them. Also it has fox twin clicker probably in need of service and very nice steering stabilizer attached to a slug of metal welded nicely onto the frame there. It's not entirely hopeless. But most importantly the wheels are really really nice and straight and I really really wanted them. And now I have them. Edited August 19, 2017 by boilerdude Quote
boilerdude Posted August 19, 2017 Author Posted August 19, 2017 Thinking about selling that and starting over with a clean low mileage blandit 1200s. upper fairing and all. Black. With those wheels on it. Quote
no class Posted August 19, 2017 Posted August 19, 2017 Chicanes ...,,,Does the rear wheel have a cush drive Quote
boilerdude Posted August 19, 2017 Author Posted August 19, 2017 (edited) Is there a version with and without or is there something missing if I dont see one? Going to look now. I didn't know about any cush drive discrepancy. I figured if it's on the bike and rolling it must be complete. All I see is sprocket bolted to wheel... Edited August 19, 2017 by boilerdude Quote
boilerdude Posted August 19, 2017 Author Posted August 19, 2017 please tell me why you ask. What is the significance. If it doesn't have one what does that mean? Quote
boilerdude Posted August 20, 2017 Author Posted August 20, 2017 how important is the cush drive? does it need a cush drive? Quote
boilerdude Posted August 20, 2017 Author Posted August 20, 2017 All I see is sprocket bolted to wheel. I can't see underneath. Reckon I will have to take the wheel off to see. Quote

Had a few mates in the past that ran dymags without cush drives and they all had trouble with threads for the sprocket going slack. Most fitted helicoils or had to have the other threaded inserts Edited August 20, 2017 by Fazz711 Add info Quote

Spondon did this for me many moons ago on a race Dymag that came out of an FZ750 Superstock bike. Quote
boilerdude Posted August 21, 2017 Author Posted August 21, 2017 So this means there are 2 completely different versions of these wheels? Or the same wheel can be run with or without a cush drive. in which case I may (%.01 chance) be able to find one. Quote
no class Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 (edited) There was a cushdrive available for PM chicanes..... had 2 sets of wheels and one was without . If you have no cushdrive on yours , then you own race only wheels .....no problem for a race bike as the wheel is in and out several times for tire / gear changes.... but for the stop and go of street riding....No cush is harder on the driveline.... I had a set on my turbo slingy and at some point on a 200+ kph pull .... a couple of the spfocket bolts sheard off and locked the rear wheel against the swingarm...... almost killed me.

boilerdude Posted August 22, 2017 Author Posted August 22, 2017 (edited) Is there a way to tell with the wheel on the bike? seriously what kind of horse shit is that. off road only rated wheel. because "oh yea they kinda fall the fuck apart have fun with that". never thought to research that much about a wheel. my luck they are probably sans version.

crashtester Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 How wide is the rear wheel? I think the race ones are wider at 6", where as the road ones are 5.5". The race ones were lighter than the street ones. I like the look of them when they are anodised black. Quote

Dezza Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 I will look. I sold the wheels years ago (doh) but I may have some pictures. Quote
Dezza Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 (edited) This is all I can find. Each of the sprocket mounting holes was pretty large ~25mm in diameter, into which was pressed a nylon insert with ~15mm hole in the middle. At the back of each insert was a top hat spacer, the outer diameter of which was about the same as the washers in the picture. The inside face of these fitted up against the wheel hub. The protruding part of the top hat went through the hole in the middle of the nylon insert. The hole in the middle of the top hat took the sprocket mounting bolt, 12mm. The washer bolted up tight and overlapped the edge of the nylon so it all clamped up tight. The sprocket rotation was damped a little by the nylon, not much but enough. The mounting bolts had to be loctitied in or they would come loose. Hope this helps. Edited August 22, 2017 by Dezza 1 Quote
boilerdude Posted August 22, 2017 Author Posted August 22, 2017 that sounds almost equally destructable under turbo power. not that thats happening immediately anytime. but what if I just have a shop drill and rethread everything bigger? I'll admit i'm lazy and I dont own any bike stands as of yet. I'm used to bikes with a centerstand. Quote
SBK1000 Posted August 26, 2017 Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) I am just going to leave these right here.... If my math is right that GSXR1000 6.00" rear wheel is 7 lbs lighter than stock GSXR1100 rear wheel. Imagine how much lighter it would be if I polish that GSXR1000 rear wheel!!!! LOL Edited August 26, 2017 by SBK1000 Added text. Quote
boilerdude Posted August 26, 2017 Author Posted August 26, 2017 maybe in the future. but I got these special bling wheels for now Quote
no class Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 sell them off while you still can.......yes they are bling.....30 years ago when they came out . Quote
