Hi new member here all the way from Sweden
I have a -87 cbr 600 PC19 that I have modified to a streetfighter with for example Yamaha R6 tailpiece and much more.
I have som plans for the winter but I think that som research will come in handy before I start cutting the bike apart :P

Is there anyone who have put a rear wheel from an F2 on an F1? As you know the stock F1 tire is only 130mm wide and I´m sorry but I think it looks too much as a moped wheel ( I have a wider tire on my NSR 125cc :P ).

And also this is a long time projekt I have planned to do some time in the future but it would be really cool to fit an USD fork on my old bucket is there anyone who has done something like that on an F1 before?

Thanks

hey man welcome to the forum, im also making my cbr a streetfighter, but probably with the stock rear wheel though, sorry i cant help you. if u know anyone with an f2 see if they will let you throw the wheel on to see if it fits, and if not maybe check the specs on a newer swingarm to see if that fits.

 

should fit okay?? same size rubber?

 

no the F2 tire specs are 160-60-17 the F1 is 130-90-17

I think that the F2 rim size is one inch wider but i'm notsure thats what I want to find out

 

okay, here's the skinny...

f1 rear is 3.5", f2 rear is 4.5"

f1 rear axle is 15mm OD, f2 rear axle is 17mm OD.

these measurements will also effect rim to swingarm spacing side to side, and brake caliper bracket spacing.

with that in mind, you can reslot the swingarm axle hole to accomodate 17mm axle bolt, use f2 rear brake caliper, and f2 wheel spacers. the spacers will have to be cut down narrower to fit between the swingarm, rim, and caliper bracket.

also, because the 160 is a lower profile tire (60 vs. 90), you will need to readjust the front forks up into the triple clamps to get the steering back to neutral.

voila, done!

 

THANKS!!![sm=hail.gif]

 

well said michigan.

 

Finally I found a F2 wheel for the right price so now it's gonna be a couple of interesting days in the garage

i think i saw a lathe in your garage. do you have a lathe in your garage? if you do, you one lucky SOB! geez, if i had a lathe, my projects would be easier to do. you shouldn't have any problem turning down wheel spacers to make the F2 rim fit.

 

Yepp it's a old munktell lathe that We took from my grandfather when he retired his workshop, its old but it gets the job done no questions asked
