Title: Compatible rims?
Post by: Athelstanexxx on Tuesday, 01 June 2021, 04:59 PM
Beast rebuilt is almost finished, just to find out front rim is not so good. Previous owner had an accident and while the look is excellent, in 2 places INSIDE the rim there are imperfections.
Now, I know rims can be repaired and painted, I really would love to purchase another one (or the couple).
Questions here
1) Do you know if there are any other rims fitting our bike other than the GSX1400 standards? I read Hayabusa shares the same but not sure
2) Would third party rims fit our bike without issues? Which are the measurements or any other details needed to check if they will fit?
3) Do Someone have a spare front (or front + rear) to sell me?

Thank you

PS: soon I'll be posting pics with all the details I've brought to my beast. Here's the first one

I think Hayabusa won't work. Well, not easily as the 'busas have radial brakes etc.

I think your best option would be to search high and low for genuine GSX1400 wheels, and/or get your existing wheels fixed.

I mentioned Hayabusa since, referring to original Suzuki codes
- Original Black Rim for Suzuki GSX1400 K2-k7 has code: 54111-33E11-019
- Original Black Rim for Suzuki GSX1300 R Hayabusa K4-k6 has SAME code: 54111-33E11-019
