K6 Wheels vs. K8 wheels?

Shaman · Feb 24, 2011

I have two sets of spare wheels, both require a front set of rotors, which look to be the same size.

Question being: do the K6 wheels also fit the K8s? As far as I can tell they do, but I can't see things like rotor offset... would hate to cause myself problems... but it would be great to have a set of fresh slicks and a set of fresh wets available for both track 1000s with 10 minutes of work.

They should work. Try a dry run and bolt them up for a test fit.

K6 1000 wheels (rotors,spacers,axles,etc) all bolt straight up to the K8 1000. Front and rear wheels are 100% swappable.

K5-K8 wheels are all exactly the same

K5/K6 rotors are 8 rotor buttons, K7/K8 are 10 rotor buttons, but they are bother interchangeable, same diameter rotor.

And weight the same.... the rotors also

Awesome. Thanks. Both are getting a new set of BrakeTech AXIS ductile iron rotors to match up with the ones on my track bikes. Will be awesome to have two sets of spare wheels that I can mix between the two machines.
