    Fitting the rear wheel and entire front end from the new CB1000R to a VFR?

    [​IMG]

    Looks like a similar bolt pattern on the rear, and I'm sure someone will be able to make the front fit. Maybe call it a VFoRnet...?

    I like the looks of the rear wheel. If the cost is ok then I wouldn't mind fitting it on mine.

    Why, oh why can't they fit a single nut rear to their motorcycles? Ducati does it, the RC-45 had it. I can't see it being terribly difficult to manufacture, or terribly expensive either. I think it would look alot nicer that 4 lug nuts off of a car...

    Hey Jev, we're all waiting for an answer to this question...

    An back on topic, if I had the cash I'd definitely fit one of these wheels, and a CB1000R front end if I could find one...

    Thank you, took the words right out of my mouth.

    Good news / bad news is that bike isn't going to be a US model.

    Lucky guy!

    Oh, and BTW - 4-spoke wheels are hideous. :puke: The wheel above is a perfect example.

    Jev, I was unable to read your post. Something kept grabbing my attention...unable to concentrate on what I'm sure was an enlightening post.
