    I read the ebay description and found this:
    "The most obvious thing you notice on this bike is that the seat and tail section are from a 1994 CBR 900RR and has a keyed trunk. He then did away with the stock 16 inch front rim and 18 inch rear rim and installed a set of 17 inch F2 rims on it. Both tires are in need of replacing. The rims have the typical dings and scraps from tire changes."

    So, I'm guessing they are from a CBR 600 F2, such as...

    but I have no idea if you'd need to bend anything to get them to fit w/o issues. You might just ask the seller on ebay.

    Good luck.

    I was just checkin out that listing deciding that the tail section didn't look right when I noticed the item location 'Sikeston, MO'. That's actually where I was born. Small world. Only about 15-20k people in that town.

    Speed,

    come on up here to the central coast and hang out with us for a few days. Our pace is a bit slower than LALA land, at least until we get on the bikes. We have awesome riding that isn't crowded. Great places to go and things to see, and you still have great year round riding weather. Oh, and it's a tad cheaper to live here.
