Hi Guys
Looking into doing some mods using gsxr bits. So if anyone in the know could answer a couple of questions to aid my research, I'll buy you a cuppa or a pint if I see you.
1. On the radial gsxr's are the disc shimed as standard?
2. If they are shimed, what's the normal thickness of shims on each side?
Thanks Ducaki

Shimmed? As in spaced out from the wheel hub? I know of no manufacturer that sends bikes out from the factory like that ....
Of all the things I have ever lost, I miss my mind the most .....

Couldn’t say for certain but I doubt very much that the discs will be shimmed out, axial offset will be set by the hub width. Including a shim brings in a failure mode - home mechanic removes disc and shim and omits to replace shim on reassembly...
