wheel question
« on: March 30, 2005, 02:26:16 PM »
I am wondering if an sv wheel will fit the bandit because I am wanting to do an sv suspension swap.  Or if anyone knows if the bandit wheel will fit the sv forks?

Which Bandit, which SV, which end?

The rear wheel of the B12 & SV1K was recently discussed in this thread:

With this conclusion:

As far as a trade with someone who has a SV1000 and them
having silver wheels in the same size as the B12??... well, I signed on to the SV site forum and almost had a deal/swap set up, then after some other enthusiasts got interested in the idea, research was done and according to the microfiche at ron ayers.com the wheel is NOT a direct replacement,(as in... wont fit), but it also doesnt have the same bolt/axle size-pattern. The tire size is about the only thing the same unfortunately.

Shame really, we had a bunch of sv people interested in the idea, i guess the "IN" thing now is to go black rims for the sv? go figure. and then theres some of us discontented Bandit owners who want something different to black!... typical.
