Title: B4 Front Axle
Post by: SmokeyAndTheBandit on December 20, 2007, 11:16:21 AM

Hello all,
I was wondering if someone knew what diameter the front axle for the B4 is. I have a cafe racer project I'm working on and I want to see if I can mount this wheel to a set of 97 GSX-R750 forks. The only reason I'm looking at using the B4 front wheel is because I can pick one up alot cheaper than the GSX-R wheel.

Thanks!

Which means you'll only have half the advantage of a GSXR front end... if you do it, do it right the first time and get the GSXR wheel. You'll never regret having a 120/70 tire :wink: The axles are different anyway, 17 mm solid vs 20 mm hollow if I'm not mistaken.

Thanks for all the help guys! Just like they say, do it right or do it twice, right? Guess I'm back in the market for a GSXR wheel.

Thanks for the heads up! I see you live in Canton. I live very close to you. Do you know anyone in the area who's good at tuning bikes? I have a set of 750 cams for my B6 that need put in but I want someone to do it who could tune everything well.
