Cross-Generation Wheels
What wheels will fit what generation of CBRs?
I own a 1999 CBR F4 track/race bike and want a spare set of rims. I can't seem to find any local rims/wheels for sale... ebay is sketchy (want to make sure they're straight)
I also own a downed 1987 CBR F1 Hurricane 600.... will the wheels fit on the F4? Also, any change a 120/180 set of tires can fit on the rims?
I read the tire size sticky but couldnt find the answer. A few have said a 180 can fit but will change handling on the F1 (but it wouldn't in the F4)....
So
1) Can the 87 F1 600 rims fit on the 99 F4?
2) Can I fit 120/180 tires on the 87 F1 600 rims?

The rims on the F1 are narrower than the F4 so it would be a bad idea to use them regardless of whether or not they fit on the F4.
I don't think there are any 120 wide radials that are recommended for a 2.5" front wheel, and definitely no 180 wide tire at all that's recommended for the 3.5" rear wheel. I think it would definitely compromise the handling & safety of the bike.

Where are you located? Not 100% sure of cross make compatability, but I have a set of wheels from an '06 gsxr 600 that are straight with no bends/cracks. Wheels are located in CT, I also have a set of new michelin pilot tires for the wheels. Was planning on bringing the bike back to life, but there was too much wrong with it and didn't want to dump the amount of money needed into it.
