Photos of 6 Spoke Wheels On A VTR ... Who Has Them??
Before I commit to buying some 6 spoke rims for my VTR, I'd like to see how they look on the bike. Does anybody here have photo's of them installed on their bike?

Front: F3 and 94-97 vfr bolt right on, no mods. 98-present VFR 800 might have slightly different rotors but I don't think so IIRC. Check a brake catalog (EBC).
90-93 vfr should also bolt on but use a different rotor carrier so you'd need those rotors too.
Rear: 900rr bolt right on. I'm not sure about the RC51. It might need mods (6inch width).

Kind of a tired thread, but...
F3 Front, 900RR rear... Centers painted silver, rest is polished... Zero mods, just bolt up.

Yeah. I was going to do them in white too, when I paint the SH white this winter... One tip, get a dollar store dishwashing brush for cleaning them, especially the rear... Unless someone else has a better idea for getting inside the inner spokes?

The CBR f3 front bolts right up. CBR900RR rear bolts right up. If I remember correctly the 94-97 VFR front also bolts right up. Ebay usually has lots of CBR900RR rears listed but the front wheels are tough to find, especially for cheap.

Are you still thinking about doing the 6 spokes?? Im seriously thinking about it now, there are about 7 900rr rears on ebay right now.

I run after market rotors in the front so when I put the 900rr on the rear (it's on the shelf) it's gonna be sweet.
I've squared off the current set of Powers in about 3k miles. City driving is hell - hehehe! This might be a good time to do the wheel switch. The bearings are pulled and it's ready for paint. Prolly going to be Italian Red.

I think the rear is slightly heavier from the 900rr but the front from the cbr is significantly heavier. That's what I didn't like about the fronts switch.
