    So, I have been told and have read that 320mm Ducati rotors will fit a 5th Gen front wheel. Does anyone know from which bike?

    So far, I've accidentaly ordered a set of 4th gen rotors and then a set of Ducati rotors with 5 bolt holes. I'm just having a bad month.

    I need to be 100% sure of what rotors fit before I order another wrong set.

    I should mention that I've got an 02 SV650 with a GSXR frontend.
    Right now the wheels match but this winter I will be putting a VFR750 swingarm on the bike. I can't stand the look of mismatched wheels so I want to put a set of VFR800 wheels on it. Obviously the rear will fit fine with a little modification. But, for the front I will need to have a new axle and/or spacers machined or swap out the bearings.
    The rotors I'm having trouble with.
    The frontend I have is from a 04 GSXR1000 so it has the radial brakes which use 300mm rotors. I can space them out 10mm for the 320mm rotors so that is not a problem. I'm eventually going to get a set of R1 calipers which require less spacing also (only 5mm).
    I just need to find a set of rotors that will fit the bolt patern and have enough offset. I can have the wheel machined down if the offset is too much.

    Thanks again,
    Stu.

    PS, I know that the RC51 wheel would fit with different bearings and they use 320mm rotors but I already have the VFR wheels and just want to get rotors.
