    anyone knows an easy way to offset the original front rotor to be able to fit it in a grsx front swap?
    i think having spacers created will be the best solution but i cannot find any place in WI, does anyone know a good place to have them made, like a CNC manufacturer?

    Thank you

    The easy way is to get the stem bearings to swap the whole GSXR front end. What's the point of swapping the wheel if you don't get the better forks to go with it?

    You don’t need a cnc to make 8? Spacers, just a small hobby lathe and a micrometer. Ask around your locality, maybe at the auto parts store? Someone will know who does that - probably two or three in every small town.

    You could always try local trade schools in your area they like to do this sort of stuff to help train their students

    ok, thank you all for the replies
    A little update, I found a service on eBay that does custom spacers, charged me about 56$ but all I did is send him the dimension and in a few days I get this back:
