Default wheels......

Does anyone know where i can find different color wheels for my 88 1000f? The ones that came on it are the red ones. I am painting the bike white and i dont think it will look good.

Unless you are planning to go wider, just stick with the stock ones and get them powdercoated.

Hi:

The newer wheels are wider and work with a newer swingarm and brake mount (90+ cbr1kf), and the forks will take a newer wheel using the
newer spacers and the 90+ chain cover as they moved the speedo drive there, also you have to get rid of the hugger fender and reuse your old
rotors. I change to the newer fork as I wanted the cartridge fork and newer brakes, so I bought a wrecked/engine blown bike. You can make the
wheels what ever color you want with some good paint like vht brake caliper paint/clear as long as they have a color you want. This used to be a
popular mod on the older bikes when the newer CBRs came out. Just make sure you get parts that are in good shape and not bent, and as
complete as possible to make this as easy as possible.
