SP1/SP2 wheels needs swapped bearings to the correct diameter, but no machining needed what-so-ever, just use the CBR spacers and it's done... The brake discs match, again just fiddle with the caliper spacers...

VTR wheels, same as SP's, swap the bearings and spacers, and run the calipers without spacers... (Yes, this means that anything you can bolt to the stock fork will also work with a little fiddling)

GSX-R 1000/750/600, cant say the exact years of the top of my head, but the years using Showa forks, which are very similar to 929/954 forks, are also bolt on, just bearings and spacers... Brake discs match, as above...

Triumph 675, and a whole slew of others, are known to work with custom spacers, and swapped bearings...

All aftermarket stuff for the above... And a few more...
Thanks for the info :-) parts added to my watch list :-)

But I can if you lot like supply a list of wheels that are lighter, and more bling that six spokes that fit with a minimum of mods to the bike, once you have fitted the proper adapters, such as an SP2 swing and CBR 1000RR fork... :wink: At the moment I think I'm running 18 spokes? Dunno for sure, as the flapjacks are forked, so it's a matter of how you count and where...
BTW, i figured out how to count... :wink: Honda says these are 12 spoke... I pilfered them from a 2012 CBR 1000RR, that didn't need them anymore, as it had a case of spontaneous combustion, after the owner had managed to foobar something up before putting it on the dyno... (nope, not warranty... He had done a lot to that engine...)

Nope, not carbon... And not forged either... But they are light... Really, really light, and according to Honda's press material, much more rigid... Dunno if that's better or worse though... And they where pretty much a direct swap...
Image <--- The result of OCMD... I gave up listing the mods in a sig line...
