i have an 00 r1 rear wheel in my black z1r.

soo i needed a matching front wheel.

well i didn't wanna stick it in the old front end.so i got an 05 gsxr 1000 front end.

the r1 and gixxer use different axles.dia.length blah blah blah.

they don't jive.

i machined the head end of an r1 axle to fit the gsxr frontends width and not loose any thread length.the threads already seemed kinda short to me {-_-}.

then i had to machine out a couple of custom aluminum pieces to make the yamy wheel jive with the geezer front end.

here are a couple pics that show too much,
but not enough .
i will get some pics of the pieces taken apart to show my safe,but elegant solution.
