Yeah they are rare and also pricey...... I can check with my sources if you really decide you want one but again you would be hunting special bearings to get it to mate up to a 929 axle. :wink:

929/954 front wheels are 3-spoke, so match stock VTR rear also.... I think a frnt wheel from a CBR1000RR would also work (not sure about axle size, but the 929/954 rotors should bolt right up)

Sounds like he has a hankering for a 6 spoke front wheel though...... :Eyebrows:

Here is one for you, if you want to bend over even farther......

http://www.ebay.com/itm/HONDA-RC51-RVT1 ... ed&vxp=mtr

Though the advantage of running a 5 spoke SP2 wheel, and why I run one with my 6 spoke rear, is that it is 1.5 lbs lighter than an SP1 wheel.

Yes I did manage to round up one of each when I did my swap..... though I did get rid of the extra wheel a while ago. :wink:

One last thing: once you have those massive 330mm rotors on, few, if any, will/would be able to notice you are running a 5-spoke (SP-2) in place of a 6-spoke.... food for thought.......

BTW, assuming it's straight, that wheel linked by Lloydie could be quite a deal... you can likely get most of the money back just from selling off the rotors..... more food for thought...

Don't care if it's five spoke or six spoke just need some thing :(
