Are RC51 wheels direct replacement on Hawk?
Don't mean to ask a dumb question.
Just wondering if the RC51 6 spoke wheels would be direct fits on a 98 Hawk? Like the 6 spoke look but do not want to do a bunch of modifications to get them to work. If any mods are required LMK . Any help would be greatly appreciated

No... the bearings and brakes are different.
Do a search, you'll find 6-spoke compatible wheels as this has been discussed alot... not sure if they were F4i or another CBR that you can use.

Last week I bought a rear wheel off a 1998 CBR900RR. It came with spacers and all--bolted right on like the stock wheel. Now the search is on for a front rim. I plan on getting one off a CBR600 F3, but they seem to be a bit on the expensive side. I just lost an ebay auction for a front rim that had tons of chips, scrapes and scratches in the paint and had no rotors or tire--it went for about $150.00. I bought my rear off ebay for $200.00 with a near new tire, smooth bearings, brake disc and sprocket/carrier. The paint is nearly perfect too. When you see how good a 6-spoke wheel looks and you're able to get some or most of your $$$ back from selling your old wheels, you'll be very happy with the mod!

Direct Replacements are:
Front - 1995-98 CBR600F3
Rear - 1993+ CBR900RR
As suggested, there may be other but these wheels match each other and are 100% direct replacements for the stock VTR wheels.
