Yes. I assume that the rotors are native to whatever bike the wheels are from. GSX / Katana I believe. Stock rotors and calipers came with the bike, but no wheels. The rear wheel is marked "BJG SUZUKI" and "J17XMT3.50 DOT". I don't have the front wheel info atm.

very limited wheels consider a VJ22 comes with 3X17 in front and 4.5X17 in the rear. A 500 with 3.5X17 in the rear.

I own the frame Jason set the record on and am currently building a really special bike out of it.

Yeh, Jason's bike was a big bore 560 with Nikon pipes and 35MM carbs it set a record in 650cc altered class at 155mph. That still stands too! Jason was an ex-student of mine and we built the motor for his bike in my shop. He hadn't told his dad about the bike and that he was planning to race at Bonneville and one day the dad shows up to see why he was spending so much time hanging out with me (bad influence!) He was actually quite thrilled about it! Too funny!
