Earlier K series wheels are loads lighter. A K2 6 inch rear with sprocket carrier, renthal alloy sprocket, bearngs and a Pirelli Diablo tyre, weighs almost the same as a bare SRAD/TL/Busa wheel without bearings fitted. Hub spacing between the discs are also different between Busa wheels and K3/4 thou' wheels, but the K1/2 320mm discs are the same as Busa/TL/SRAD Whereas the later K series use 310mm discs which aren't interchangable with the earlier wheels. Rear discs are interchangable between the 220mm and 240mm as fitted to the bikes.

So to answer your question, 06 gsxr 1000 rear will fit but the front will not

You can use the late style 1k front wheel with the 1k rotors. You need spacers front and rear. The front calipers should be shimmed slightly (to center them up) The rear caliper bracket will need a little machining.

bearings are the same but the rotors are different.

if you are just swapping wheels, then you need to swap for 01-04 wheels and keep your stock rotors to swap in k5+ stuff....you pretty much would need to swap the forks also since your rotors would either need to be custom sized or you'd need a custom brake setup


I have:
busa
01-02,03-04, and 05-07 gsxr 1k wheels and rotors here if you need sizes or comparisons.

I also have 03-04 and 06 gsxr 11k forks here if you need comparison, measurements or specs.

so no swapping rotors on the front and shimming out calipers

 

[goodluck]

you can swap them out you just have to run the 1000 disc with some shims on the front
