One spacer on the wheels is different. Go to www.bikebandit.com and cross reference all part numbers between both wheels. If i had a set laying around I would order the spacer and try it. Hondas mistake was getting rid of the 6 spoke for the 3 spoke IMO. Hope this helps. Typed a longer answer but didnt go threw so had to shorten it.

well since the 51 is a v-twin I heard that u can't do wheelies for very long. is this true? and if a 51 is up against a 54, who wins.

On the track, the RC51 wins hands down. On the street the 954 is more reputable. The RC51 has killer bottom and it handles good. But the 954 usually takes it by the end of 2nd into 3rd. And after that occurs, its bye bye RC51, LoL........But u gotta admitt, those 51 wheels are sexy as hell on the 54...=-)
