Re: Dunno suppose it goes here: Zero pipes warnings.

Re: Need a fast reply on some rim fitment. Custom stuff. 100

The 1000RR rear rim will fit but it will be a permanent choice. you have to bore out the chain slides and the caliper holder. My self I have a whole swinger from the RR but it has been done.
