Potze Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 Does anyone here have experience converting a Ducati 888 rear wheel into a Honda VFR750 RC36-2. I myself am thinking of using a Honda VFR400 NC30 rear hub for this. Should this be possible? Any help would be appreciated. Quote

I had my Hawk modded for a VFR wheel and there has been plenty modded for Ducati wheels. You might pop over there and poke around. https://www.hawkgtforum.com/forum/honda-hawk-gt-bros-discussions/hawk-bros-vendor-area/927189-spindle-mods-by-ww-r Quote
0 Member Contributer Tirso Posted January 23, 2023 Member Contributer Posted January 23, 2023 I think you meant to say Ducati 848 rear wheel as 888's do not have single sided swing arms. No personal experience with RC36-2 single nut conversion. The only RC36-2 single nut conversion I've seen is on Intagram from Japan (https://www.instagram.com/p/CTHWb3xnjeN/) Don't know what he used, though judging from the size of the nut, looks like a Honda rear hub (https://www.instagram.com/p/BDImq_KEYl6/) Quote

Sebspeed was talking about making a kit like this also. 1 Quote

I put a Hawk spindle that was modified in the Tyga 4th Gen, and could run nc30/35 or Duc wheel. Quote

I have done the conversion using Triumph parts. I modify the wheel stub of the Triumph axle via machine/press fit/weld then add spacers and drive pins so it all can be bolted in the 750 swingarm. 1 Quote
