I'll throw in a little contribution if you don't mind...

When I wrecked my front wheel I had the devil's own job finding another, all the blade owners were buying up all the 17" VTR front wheels or something!

So I went and looked at a Blackbird front, guess what... Fits! The discs swap straight over. Just use the spacers and axle from the VTR. I measured and compared everything I could, and as far as I could tell it is the same casting.

Unfortunately I don't know the year of the Blackbird donor, it was just a collection of bits by the time I got to it.

I've grown to rather like my gloss black front wheel.

Is the B-Bird a 3 or 6 spoke?

I thought it was handy to know a front wheel from a Honda Blackbird will fit our Firestorms, so I've just had a quick look on the Ron Ayres site for cross reference checking part numbers.

As far as I can see there appears to be a difference in part numbers (to be precise the thee letters in the part number code, they are different). I'm not saying it won't fit (as tankslappa has already confirmed a Blackbird front wheel will), but there must be something slightly different about the two wheels.

Paint colour?

I had the original (rather damaged) silver wheel side by side with the B-Bird wheel... I got the callipers (as in measuring, not brakes) out and measured everything I could. Everything was the same bar the paint finish.

More importantly, the discs mount on the holes, the original axle and spacers all fit, and it does the going round and round thing between the forks

Maybe it's tested to a higher spec for the heavier and faster bike? or made of badgers or something? I dunno.

I'll weigh it when I'm having the tyres changes and hopefully one of your guys can do the same with a standard front.

I'm keeping an eye out for a decent pair of front discs for the storm and have been trying to check which other models will fit, some info collected is shown below incase it's of use to others: Outside Diameter 296 Inside Diameter 58 Bolt Hole Circumference 74 Bolt Hole Quantity 6 Bolt Hole Size 6.5 Thickness 4.0 Minimum Thickness 3.5 Offset 17.0 Type of Bolt Holes STRAIGHT http://metalgear.com.au/mgear-brake-disc-front-leftright-p-6304.html EBC info VTR1000F FIRESTORM 1997-2006 Will also fit the following models CBR400 RRJ/RRK (NC23) TRI-ARM 1981-1989 CBR400 RRL/RRN/RRR (NC30) GULL-ARM 1990-1994 RVF400 RR/RR2/RT/RT2 (NC35) 1994-1996 VFR400 R3K/R3N/R3L/R3M NC30 1989-1992 CBR600F FS/FT/FV/FW 1995-1998 VFR750 FR/FS/FT/FV 1994-1997 CBR900RR FIREBLADE RRR/RRS/RRT/RRV 1994 - 1997 VTR1000F FIRESTORM 1997-2006 EBC PART NUMBER MD1003X I think some Aprillias had the same size discs but haven't found that info yet.

Are Varadero discs the same?

I just went to have a look in Haynes, but they don't mention disc o/d sizes.

However on checking in Ebay I've just seen that Vara (XL1000) calipers are three-pot, rather than the two of a Storm.
Wonder if there's an upgrade opportunity?

Oddly, though, the RH caliper has larger bores than the LH one- because they fitted with the linked brakes- so probably not useful.

Ah well....

Well after minuites of searching I have found the Varadero disc size...

296mm. So I guess they may well fit.

do we know the weight differences of the wheels that fit? Can't find the info very easily...

lloydie · Post by **lloydie** » Fri Jan 29, 2016 5:51 pm

It's tiny difference ! 200g or so . Not really worth it to shed weight ,more looks tbh
