    Is it possible to use a VFR 750 1991 wheel on a VFR800 2001?

    In the post "wheel swap" he says that the wheels are the same from 98-09

    I couldn't find any info on this..

    I am interested in if modification is required to fit as well..

    That answer your question?

    I cannot speak for the front wheel.

    Front does not fit. Rear fits fine.

    Definately. Love your machine. Looks awesome.

    I wasn't worried about the front wheel just the rear.

    Thanks, and if you're just looking for the rear, you're golden. Straight bolt up, even takes the 180/55-17 tire.

    Finding one for a decent price will be your downfall. Just keep an eye on ebay and one will eventually pop up.

    Paid $350 for mine. Not a great deal but it is what it cost. I think that is the ball park your in.

    I found a white rim in the UK.

    Cost me about 300AUD delivered. I am happy with that.

    Now I just need to decide what colour will best compliment my machine..
