YEP! Yep and YEP! It's already bolted up!



Just had to swap out the perches. The GSX had 3-bolt perches, the Colt has 2, but the bearings and shaft at the top are the same size.



I've gone from a 8" solid rotor to a big honkin' 10" dual-vented rotor and the 5-lug hub.



The wheels on my GSX will end up on this thing eventually, but I have a set of 16x6.5" '92 GSX wheels in my garage for the mean time.

The only thing that bothers me so far is the tie rods on the steering rack. They're only secured by 4 threads and a lock nut. I had to back both of them out 6 turns to get it to line up straight because the little arm things on the back of the hub are shorter on the GSX than they were on the Colt. If I have to back them out any further to align it, I'm going to have to get some tie rods off of a Diamante or something that are longer. My mission is to use all stock parts wherever I don't have to fabricate stuff. Certain things like Intercooler pipes and exhaust stuff just don't exist, so I'll have to make my own.
