  • 1982 katana 1000 wheels & brake swap

    Many years ago i swapped my wheels & brakes from what i think is a 86 gsxr 750. I recently bought a used set of rotors from a 86 gsxr 750 because mine are warpped & when they arrived i discovered that they are not the same. the rotors on my bike are flat. I'm thinking that the guy who did the swap 20 yrs ago may have kept the stock rotors. how can i tell which rotors to get for my bike?

    Got any part #'s on the rotors?

    Failing that, a picture would help.

      Determine the following...

      Rotor OD, Bolt Patern, center diam of the bolt pattern, min. thickness, and offset...

      Then go to http://www.metalgear.com.au and search by bike model for a front rotor that matches your current set. You have it narrowed down probably to the size engine (600+ cc) and make (suzuki) just not sure the exact years/make of the bike. This will narrow it down, and let you know what other models the rotors will work for.

        are you trying to add new rotors, or looking for stock? I have plenty of stock ones if you are looking for that.
        I don't have a short temper. I just have a quick reaction to bullshit.

          There is a very good chance the wheels and rotors are incorrect. Best to post pics of wheel, with size and axle diameter.
          Flat rotors didn't show up until mid '90s. YOur stock rotors won't fit gsxr wheels so they are not stock.
          Post up some pics. They may not even be gsxr wheels.

                those type of rims started in 83. you find them on the gs, gsx, and the gsx-r. not sure about the sizes, though. the katana and and gs have a larger front wheel than the gixxer, I do believe.
