Default Switch from 16" rim to 17"???????

Can anyone help me find the right rim to purchase? I want to switch my factory 16 in front rim out for a 17 in front rim but I don't know which rim will fit on my bike? Should I try to find a 929 tire, 954, another year model 900? Perhaps a total other bike rim? If you have any idea please let me know.

Any year F3...or older VFR750 front wheels. If your bike is 98-99, you'll need spacers and some patience--don't ask me how much cause I don't know...

Do you know what year model of 954 rim he used? Did he have to make any modifications?

I'm missing the point there ... it does look like a 900RR 16" wheel on the pic.

Either swap an ENTIRE 929/954 front end or put an F3 rim on it. As stated, VFR rims of similar vintage work but I'm not sure which one.

what year is your bike? I have completed the Swap on my 95RR and Im loving it. I used an F3 rim. The rotors are bolt up and the same spacers work. This was a easy change out but hard to get a rim.

Drop me a line if you need more help.

These wheel mount right to a 1999 CBR 900RR

90-93 VFR750
95-98 CBR600F3

You can mount a front wheel from a 94-97 VFR750 but you will need different rotors.

I just got a 92 VFR front wheel and it swaps right on.
