Which Setup Do You Need?
25 mm Axle, Non-ABS
You can typically retain the stock Harley front wheel because the Harley rotor spacing closely matches the GSX-R fork spacing.
The stock Harley rotor is usually smaller than the rotor diameter required by the GSX-R brakes.
Use:
-
An oversized Harley front rotor
-
Caliper spacers
-
Longer caliper mounting bolts
This is especially common with 2006+ GSX-R forks using radial-mount calipers.
3/4" Axle, Non-ABS
Use our separately available 3/4" Harley Wheel Adapter Kit.
The kit includes:
-
Custom front axle
-
Rotor adapter
-
Required conversion hardware
The rotor adapter lets you use the correct GSX-R rotor for the year and model of fork being installed.
No additional rotor spacing is required.
ABS Dyna and 2018+ Softail
Choose the appropriate ABS triple tree kit.
These kits are designed to retain:
-
Stock Harley front wheel
-
Stock Harley rotor
-
Factory Harley ABS system
ABS kits include the required custom axle, adapter components, and widened triple spacing needed for proper wheel, rotor, and ABS sensor clearance.
