vfr 800 front wheel fit vtr 1000?
 
I got a hold of a vfr 800 front wheel and need to know if I put my rotors on if the wheel will fit my vtr without any mods. the wheel is off an 2003 vfr 800.

Should go straight on mate ive got a vfr800 front on mine. If you have not already done it a fireblade 900rr rear fits straight on to and matchs the front.:p

Isn't the 900rr rear wheel a little narrower thow? I like the look of the six spoke...

No both 5.5 inch wide did try an rc51 wheel but they are 6inch wide and have differant spindle size so would of taken a lot of work to fit. Six spokes do look better but im biased.LOL

What rims fit the SH with little-to-no work? I know the gsxr, cbr, etc all have way lighter wheels stock, so putting on rims from one of those bikes should make a big difference in feel.

Is there a weight savings with the fireblade wheels or is this cosmetic only?

VTR steve Sep 7, 2009 02:58 PM

I weighed them befoe they went on and they are no lighter than the 3 spokes so just cosmetic i'm afraid.

On the other hand the RC51 rear wheel is quite a bit lighter than the CBR or VTR rear.

How much work is it to get the rc51 wheel to work?

Change either the bearings or the swingarm...;) Bearings is easy, swingarm a little less so...:lol:

Just_Nick Sep 7, 2009 04:34 PM

What bearings do you need? And it will work with the stock spacers and stuff?
