rim question

[harros]

are 2001 gsxr 600 rims the same as the one's on the busa?

Not sure, but I very much doubt it. Busa's have to carry more weight and torque and that's one place (the wheel) where weight can be saved. I wouldn't think the tire size (rim size) would be the same either, including the cross section (known as width)

The 600 arm is not a direct bolt up if your wondering. But for extending the 600 arm is the way to go.
I believe you will need a 03 600 pivot. There are people here that will have more info then me.

Sorry got swingarms on my mind.

I think the only dif is the sprocket side spacer. You should be able to you the Busa stock space.

None of the GSXR rims are the same as the Busa wheels.

With the right spacers I know that Gixxer 1K wheels will fit on a Busa...but they are lighter
and perhaps not as strong as the Busa wheels

The Busa weighs between 110-130lbs more than the Gixxers...the Suzuki TLR1000 uses the same wheels
as the Busa.

Yeah, as I recall, Pashnit put a set of TL1000 wheels on his Busa !

Tell ya what. Get some measurements. Run a tape measure through the center.
1. Measure outter sides, spacer to spacer.
2. Measure the spacers.
3. Measure outter spacer to the sprocket / spacer to rotor.
Use a level against the spacer and a calipar or other similar slide rule.
4. This will help determine if it will bolt up or not.

I put Gixxer 1000 Marchesini's on mine. It was a easy fix. I had to have the sprocket side spacer cut down.
I can get you the deminsions of the stock wheel sitting in my garage on Monday.
