Title: R1 Wheels
Post by: Superfour Tom on 31 May 2013, 11:37:18 pm

Wondering if anyone had any experience with fitting other wheels to the Fzs. I am doing an R1 Usd font end conversion (waiting for the forks to be delivered), so the front is no problem.
I was going to fit a thunderace rear wheel for the 180 tire option, But would an R1 rear wheel fit/line up? (with the right bearing for the spindle ect) 98 boxeye and '98 r1 wheel.


The reason  ask, instead of just doing the thunderace wheel is. I don't have the R1 front wheel yet, and most decent ones on ebay are in pairs.


Cheers,
Tom

EDIT: Anybody know if the disc's of the Fazer front wheel will fit the R1 rim?

Plan on fitting a Digital speedo with a pick up sensor for the front wheel. Simples.
The only problem is, they are quite vulgar and a bit too bling. www.digitalspeedos.co.uk (http://www.digitalspeedos.co.uk)

BTW, i checked the part number, Fazer dics wont fit r1 front wheel.. Shame, More expense.

Just a thought: you may like a 170/60 tyre instead of swapping the whole wheel.
