Re: Sp1 front wheel
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.

Re: Sp1 front wheel
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......

Re: Sp1 front wheel
Here is one for you, if you want to bend over even farther......

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.

Re: Sp1 front wheel
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...
