that looks sweet nice jod 
Ok, I painted the wheels and installed. With the exception of the front fender (which I am working on) the front is complete. The rear wheel is the same as the front wheel (01-03 GSX-R 600/750/1000). Here are the mods needed to install this particular wheel, as you can see I do not have the sprocket or rotor installed, I am waiting on Rebel Gears to fab and send me the sprocket and hub adapter. I will be working on the six piston caliper mount after the sprocket, hub adapter and rotor are installed, I will post pics as well along with templates of caliper mount along with rear master cylinder and it's permanent location, if my calculations are correct I should be able to install a 140/70-17 on the rear instead of the 120/70-17 you see now. YORK Machine (St. Helena, CA. 707-963-4966) is manufacturing the wheel spacers for final fitment

I had not given it much thought, focused on other aspects at the moment, but it does look a little high, thanks for bringing it to my attention!
UPDATE: I have completed the installation of the front fender, not too difficult!
Got the sprocket and hub adapter from REBEL GEARS, they do really nice work, it fit perfectly, thanks Doug.

Could you run the stock spoke wheel with the gsxr brakes?

Thanks for the radial explanation. I guess even a old dog can learn a LITTLE something new(ish)
For those into the "old school" right side up forks the SV650 set up is a fairly easy swap on.
Hi Gary,
I'm trying to get all the right info for a front brake upgrade. Stock XS650 35 mm forks, and spoke wheels. I like the GSXR calipers you used. Question... if I go that rout do I need to change the stock rotor too? If so what do you recommend? Also are there particular GSXR calipers (years/models) to use?
Thanks!
