Yap, it was a 93 GSXR 750

I would listen to Rob. If you read my old thread, you will see some discussion on the rear spacer and wheel alignment. It is a good read on what and not what to do. I know Rob and Posplayr both used .650" spacers but for some reason my I had to add a 2 or 3mm. I can not remember.

I believe the stock B12 RH spacer is .650" or 16.6mm. Measure it. And the B12 RH spacer is the same part as your stock GSXR750 RH spacer.

Also, when checking wheel alignment, I would take the tires off and just use the rims.

Correct, the stock b12 spacer is .650". But with the GS hub you have to machine the diameter where it goes into the hub or switch out the seal. On a B12 there is no far right spacer as the hanger runs from the hanger spacer all the way to the fork arm. The '93 wheel uses a tophat type spacer between the hanger and wheel bearing. With your '93 hanger, you will need a spacer on the other side of it as well because it is narrower than the bandit.

Thanks for the help guys, once my sprockets get here I'll be tightening everything up and doing some measurements.

Andre, I've read through your thread front to back, or back to front? a couple times. Lots of good reading. I'm sure most of it will make more sense to me once my hands get dirty with the subject.
