i know its a 16" wheel and there are handling issues possible. My simple question is that if i get a set of 900rr wheels, will the front bolt up just like the CBR F3?

 

Simple answer: yes (but 16" is icky)

 

I think 98-99 they went with a 17"er.

 

I think Honda stubbornly stuck with the 16" front for the entire life of the 900RR.

 

yep, 900 was always a 16", they only moved to the 17" on the 929 in 2000. The 98-99 900RRs had a different fork offset, fork leg spacing, and larger diameter rotors (up to 310 mm from 296) than the previous versions.

 

does anyone know the difference in "Roll Out" between the 130/70/16 and a 120/70/17? or even a 120/60/17 for that matter?
