Wanted: Gen 2 SV650 front wheel - anyone have one?

[Noorder]

Just purchased an '03 SV650 as my first track bike and looking for a front rim so I can have an extra set of tires mounted. Anyone have some locally to Concord, NH and/or coming to the Loudon Classic this coming week that they don't need anymore?

Thanks for the pointer - unfortunately he doesn’t seem to have any Gen2 fronts right now but I’ll keep an eye out. eBay has some but they are quite expensive! Hoping for some local fronts!

Billy Saine might have some? Not sure he’s on here but does have a FB and active on all those local groups. Nicest man I know and has become the resident hoarder of SV parts lately. Just don’t take the candy from his van after 8pm.

I’m 99.9% sure FRONTS are interchangeable between gen1 and gen2.

Hey Issac. That would certainly be convenient as there are more Gen 1 fronts around then rears. However, I did a quick google search and found this as well as a bunch of other threads on this. Not an uncommon question, apparently.

Which seems to indicate that there are some differences - at a minimum spacers. Think I’ll hold out for a Gen 2 front.

Thanks for the suggestion though!

I have a first gen front wheel somewhere if you want to go that route

I can bring a 2nd gen front rim this weekend. I will be in garage 12A North.

Thanks! I’m in 18 and will swing by. -Alex
