Does the rear sprocket off the storm wheel fit the blade one, what about the disc?

Spindles the same size then? Be interested how easy the blade rear is to fit. Might be a easy mod.

Yep got that all planned out and I am using storm spacers
Failing that I can knock my own spacers up on the lathe

I weighed mine when I fitted them- weighed the old wheel/tyre and then swapped the same tyre onto the new six- and it was lighter.
No-one seemed to believe me when I reported this on Superhawk forum, so perhaps you could do the same check?
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

I'd weigh all wheels with no tyres or discs on them. Even if they are lighter it's not by much

Front wheel I've got coming
This is not a blade wheel but its dam close to the rear. When they black you would never know.
It was cheaper then the blade wheel to!
Think it's vfr750
