    Ok I got the itch to do the f2 upgrade, but after I had already rebuilt the forks and put the good parts in them. I started by finding my front F2 wheel on ebay, easy. I sent the wheel and the VFR spacer and speedo adapter to VFR Chuck to modify to fit the VFR forks. Six to eight weeks later my wheel arrived, :cool: He had to shave down the spacer, adapter and rotor posts. As always he did excellent work, came out very nice. I had my new Perelli Diablo mounted and balanced, required no weight to balance. Pretty good for an ebay wheel.(The rear I bought also need no weight to balance.)Double checked on two machines. I guess thats just good Honda engineering or maybe its the pirellis. Well the wheel bolted right up just as advertised by VFR Chuck. I did have to trim the front rattle clip a tiny bit, but no big deal. Wheel looks great and feels amazing. I snapped some pics but forgot to measure them to see how much material was removed. Next time I have the wheel off I will do so if any ones interested. Now just waiting for my shock and spacers from Jamie and its on to the rear.
