F3 900RR wheel swap
 
Ok, so I would like to put 6 spoke wheels on my F4i track bike. I think the 3 spoke wheels are horrible. Anyway, thru some deductive reasoning on Ronayers.com, I figured out that the 900RR rear axle size and F3 front axle size are the same as the F4i. So the only issue now is spacing. I would think the front would be a direct fit, what do you guys think? As for the rear, maybe a spacer would need to be machined? That is really all I can think. It should be pretty easy. Any input? Anyone try this? If no, I just might try it and see how it goes.

You might be able to convince one of the 900RR owners to measure for you. Go here and ask nicely! ;)

Not sure about the front wheel but the back 900rr does fit.
Check this thread for 6 spoke options guy used a 900rr rear wheel and a vfr front

Looks like he has a 600RR swingarm though?

Ok, cool. Glad to know about the VFR. I am pretty sure I can make both fit without any complications. I will let everyone know.

This has been done a few times before and looks great, problem is your doing this on your trackbike. The 6 spoke rims are way heavier then the 3 spokes so you'll be loosing performance, not ideal for a trackbike.

Ugh, why do the 3 spokes have to look so GAY!!!!!!!!! Why couldnt Honda and Suzuki have been like Yamaha and Kawi and gone with good looking rims?

What is the weight differnce? A VFR front wheel looks so slim and stuff. Bummer that it weighs more.

How much do you want less gay looking wheels?

Yea, I know. Sadly, my credit card wont let me want them that bad. Ha

Im thinking I should put the older rims on my f4i now that it won't be seeing the track ever again. They sure are purdy
