Gen! % spoke wheel upgrade
« on: 22 January 2016, 10:21:30 pm »
Further to a previous post regarding a upgrade to R1 5 spoke wheels for my Gen 1 1000 I'm now thinking of going down the route of a set of FZ6/R6 wheels for 2 reasons. The rear is a 180 section tyre on a 3.5 rim so it's not a problem for hugger clearance. The front also already has 298mm discs so exactly the same as the Fazer. These FZ6 wheels are the same as the 5SL model R6 which is where I was looking for a front wheel anyway to pick up the discs. The rear disc is still going to be the point where some engineering will be required but the hub from the Fazer should fit with the rear FZ6/R6. Any thoughts?

Replying to my own post quickly here. Obviously I meant 5.5 inch rear rim. The front is 3.5 inch. Everybody picked up on that right?
