Not even close. The axle is different and the brake discs aren't the same size.

NO - the 7th gen has 5 lugs the 6th has 4, the wheel is wider with a different offset too, the brake wont make much difference its out of the way but you would definitely have to fab up a new spindle with 5 lugs - an interesting alternative would be the cb1000 wheel though!

He meant the front, not the back.
