  • 01 Kat Front wheel

    Ok, guys so someone hit me coming out of a driveway and bent my damn front rim. Now I'm trying to find a rim (other than a 08-02 Kat) that will for my 01 750. the reason is that I can not find one nearby. or at a reasonable price for the front rim.

    Are you sure your forks are not bent as well, if it was enough to bend your rim, i'm sure your forks are bent as well

        GSXR front rim will fit the Katana no problem? oh yeah, the fork was bent, changed it already.

          You'll have to research that. I bought '95 GSXR 750 wheels for my '89 1100.

          Did a search on 2001 Katana 750 front wheel - came back with a lot of hits...and cheap.

          There isn't a lot of variation in how the GSXR wheels look compared to the Kat of those years. Basically straight or bent 3-spoke. In fact I think the twisted ones are the same between the Kat & GSXR.

            Howdy neighbor, just got hit by someone too on 580 @ seminary. Drivers around here are absolutely terrible, glad it sounds like you're ok.
            Good luck finding a new rim

                98-02 kat wheels. There may be a bandit 600 version that will fit. I'd have to look on that but I don't have time amt.

                The GSXR wheels are wider... by alot... at the hub, and won't work on the stock kat front end.

                  The 03-06 rims are different? I though the only thing on the front end that's different is the bits related to the triple tree. Just looked at a parts fiche - whole buncha stuff is different - axel, spacers, bearings...huh. good to know.

                    Aren't the spoke different as well, straight?
