Nah, I've still got the 509 wheel and need to sell it as I don't have rotors for it...
Aaah, yes - had forgotten about the rotor mounts being different (6 bolt on earlier model vs 5 on later)
I'd also like to check on a potential other difference for reference of others:
Did you ever check the rotor spacing on your setup?
On my year wheel (as mentioned in opening post) it required spacer shims to align the rotors perfectly in the centres of the K6 GSXR calipers (01 bike a friend is converting also required the same but that is same generation essentially).
Centre to centre between the rotors/calipers is 132mm on the GSXR - was 129 originally on my 97-01 wheel between rotors before adding the shims between the wheel hub & each rotor. They did 'fit' between the calipers but were very offset towards the inside piston on each side - now are dead centre with the shims.
