I have been offered a set of F3 95-98 wheels on the cheap complete with disks, I know the F3 5" rear wheel fits plus disk but will the front wheel fit & disks? I'm not bothered about speedo etc as the bike is a race bike. Wondering if the exsisting F2 calipers and forks will work with the F3 disks and wheel?

 

well, since the speedo sensor on the F2 basically acts as a spacer you'd probably need to fab up your own spacer that is the proper length so that the F3 wheel doesn't move laterally or isn't centered. Other than that I can't much see any reason why it wouldn't. But then I have to ask why? I understand the benefits of swapping the rear wheel for a racing application, but is there anything to be gained by changing out the front? If not I'd leave the F2 wheel where it is and just swap the rear.

 

I thought the F3 front rotors are larger than the F2. Also, the F2 calipers are floating with solid rotors, and the F3 calipers are fixed with semi-floating rotors. From what ive read on the board, you'll need the forks, calipers, spacers, and rotors to run that wheel. You might be able to get away by just using the F3 lower fork.

 

Thats what I thought that the rotors are bigger on the F3 hence needing the forks and calipers to go with it. Cheers peeps, I will stick with the F2 front then, no big gain unless the braking is far superior on the F3.

 

not too sure about the front wheel, but I'd like to know, cause I'm thinking about doing this on my Hurricane.

 

SS braided lines and some real good pads and an upgraded front brake master cylinder will help out. The F2 brakes arent as bad as most think.
