Well, as Fate would have it, I won't be getting the F3 front wheel. Seems the seller's girlfriend sold it without his knowledge so he has reimbursed me my money (eBay/PayPal). Damn......

94-97 vfr will also bolt on using VTR rotors. 90-93 and 98-present VFR's will also bolt on but use different rotors respectively (same diameter but different mounting points). Good luck in your search.

Question: will the stock VTR rotors fit on an F3 front wheel?
One more: I noticed in the EBC catalogue that they make a kit to move the calipers out to accomodate a 320 mm rotor for the F3. Anyone know if this kit could also be used on the VTR?
cheers

Isn't that kit about as much as a new front end though?! Last time I saw that kit it was almost $800 if I remeber correctly, just curious, how much was it? Oh and F3 rotors are a direct swap, I had one before the front end swap.

I never got to looking at price of the kit to be honest. I must confess that I began thinking that it would likely be cheaper to do the front end swap.... I guess great minds think alike. It is also one of the reasons I am having mixed feelings about getting the F3/VTr front wheel, perhaps that $$$$ would be better spent on a new front end. So may options, so little money... lol
Yeah it adds up quick beleive me.

You can use those wheel/rotors with an F4i front end and gain larger 43mm tubes/triples and additional compression adjustment. Just like most USD units, the stock f4i springs are too weak for the vtr but the fork length is longer than most USD so that eliminates quite a few issues.
I'm ran this setup on superbling AND am now running it on my RCBVFR:

The newer 3 spoke wheels from CBR1000/600RR are significantly lighter than stock, but needs a 25mm axle, so they are only a viable option for people doing front swaps...
As far as I know, the older 6 spoke wheels are roughly the same weight as stock, or only slightly lighter, but that could be wrong... Could anybody with more accurate info on this chime in...?
