5.0" for F3

 

I ordered a cbr900rr 5.5 rim will see if this fits on the F2. I am hoping for a perfect fit. Be nice to have a wider tire in the corners.

 

Check out My CBR600F2 and his evolution in the media section. He has the drawings for the spacers and machine work you need on the drive/sprocket hub. Then the 900 wheel will fit.

 

Okay, got the machining down. Where do I find the spacers?

 

spacers are the easy part.. you put all the parts in the swinger (hub, sprocket, and rear caliper holder) then lay the chain, or you can use a long straight edge, to line up the front and rear sprockets (most important).. also make sure ht erim is centered along with the bike, then, using a caliper, measure the spaces between the hub to the inside of the swingarm and vice-versa on the caliper holder side...

start with one spacer and make it a little larger than you need to and slowly remove enough material so that everything lines up again and then finish by making the other side to fill the remaining space on the axle.

make sense..? lol...

btw.. can you tell me how much you had removed from the hub? I'm looking to do the same for mine and I'd appreciate getting an exact number of how much you took off... in MM please.. ;-)

Best,

Kaz

 

No! Not to come off as a noob, but is a spacer a simple washer??? Or where would I get these magical spacers?!

 

lol... not quite...

spacers are there to center the wheel between the swingarm and the centerline of the bike...

they look like this...

btw... I found a pic of a guy using f3 rims in his supermoto... (common practice for fitting street tires to their machines)

heres what his cush drive looks like after he machined it down...



does yours look something like that?

 

thats pretty cool. Im glad i didnt know i could do this with my f2 when i had it or i wouldve spent more money on it

 

Where can I get spacers from in sizes to fit???
