I've been told that the latest TLR Suzukis used wheels that would swap onto an 00-03 GSXR 750. I have a chance to get a set cheap, but want to be sure they'll fit. Does anybody know about this?
hey chris,
i've got an 03 750 rear wheel.
do you know anybody with a 6 inch rear for my 1000?? :(
i mistakenly bought a set on ebay.
i thought the ad said 03 1000 wheels.
i cannot give you the front though.
K3 I thought the TL rear wheel is 6 inches. The 750 is 5.5. I cant remember if this is right, Kim will know.

Correct, the TL-R wheel is a 6 incher and the '00-'03 750s have a 5.5. I know that Lonnie has run a 6 inch rim on his 750, but I think he said something about it making the chain 1/8" offset, so a spacer needed to be made. I would have to ask him to make sure. :-/
Bill is right the gsxr1000 6 inch rim on a 750/600
offsets the chain 1/8 of an inch to the out side.
mods can be done to spocket carrier and rim
for it to work but is not worth it in my oppinion.
e-mail me if you want more info.

also the 9? tlr rims are the same as the 96-99 srads
Then it sounds like the TLR rear is the same as the GSXR 1000? And the TLR front is the same as all the new GSXRs? In that case, I could get this TLR set, swap rears with Anthony, and we'd all be good?
did you get it yet chris?????
The word from my most trusted parts-interchange buddy is that the TL wheels are also the SRAD and Hayabusa wheels. The GSXR 600, 750 and 1000 all use the same front, but the 1000 has a wider rear. Since they were TL wheels, I didn't get them. Sorry Anthony, but the deal wouldn't have helped either of us.
no problem chris,
thanks for trying.
still gotta find a wheel for r.a though.
Better late than never, I suppose! :-[
TLR wheels never changed - they were the same from '98 to the bitter end. The "current" generation 1K Gixxer wheels ARE different... but wheels from '01-'02 are the same as Tiller and 'Busa rims. The front from a late-model 750 is the same but the rear does require a spacer (not a big deal - I've got a 5.5" rim and spacer that I use for my rain tire - and John can swap that puppy in a matter of minutes)
Anthony, what year Gixxer wheel are you looking for?
i'm looking for an 03/04 gsxr 1000 wheel.
i don't know if the 01/02 rims are the same or not.
if anyone can even let me borrow a wheel for this weekend it would be brilliant.
Anto,
if my 02 1000 wheel fits, you may use it this weekend, I'll have P.J. bring it... but he won't be there until Sat. Kevin Hanson might be of some help.
He runs 16.5's, but he may have an 02 17" wheel...I don't have his number tho.
Benj.
Anto, sounds like you are S.O.L.
sorry,
Benji.

Check out AJ at Aj's performance. He is a straight up guy and many of you may know him as he travels to alot of tracks with Jim Davis. Here is AJ's number, I think he has some wheels for sale 623-587-7708. Good luck!
I've got rears... let me see if i have one that doesn't have anything mounted on it.
Will be there Thursday.
Give me a call (847) 644-4495.
