With the 6 spoke front from a cbr600f4 99-00, do we use the discs from that bike as well?

The previous info appears to show Vtr discs do not fit that wheel?

Mind you, it doesn't look like this wheel fits anyway

Hi chaps. After reading this posy it seems these don't fit the VTR.

Would the most knowledgeable on here know for sure? And if they don't, is it an easy thing to make them fit?

Thanks!

Check the spindle diameter.
If your wheel has bearings that don't fit, you can make it happen with deep well bearings and custom spacers.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
