RGV wheels

Post by DAMO666 »

I know the RGV rear wheel is a popular mod but what about the front wheel with the ZXR400L forks.The reason i ask is because i was going to retain the KR1S wheel with the ZXR400 forks but you cant get a wheel bearing to suit the ZXR 20mm wheel spindle to use the KR1S wheel.Anyone know what size front spindle the RGV uses?

RGV uses a 6203 wheel bearing which equates to a 17mm spindle. (rear is 6204 so that's 20mm). Don't know if the end bushed end is anything like the hole in the zxr forks, but if I remember correctly it bolts into the right hand leg.

RGV yokes are narrower than zxr ones, think the forks legs are at 205mm centres rather than 210, so spindle may be a bit short. Best bet may be to ask on the rgv forum is to the diameter of the bushed end on a vj22 spindle to see if that'll go in the zxr forks.

Zxr 250 spindle is 17mm, but needs 2 bushes making to allow it to fit Into 400 legs (done that one before :wink: )
