HI,   Does anyone know can a VTR SP2 five spoke front wheel into my 4th Gen/Firestorm front end?  

What discs fit the wheel  and have a 296mm OD?

 

Many thanks,

Big B.

CBR600F4i (2001-2006) 296mm discs will bolt straight to the SP2 wheel. Believe it uses the same axle size but don't quote me on that... I know for sure it is smaller than 25mm as I had to bore the wheel to fit a 25mm CBR1000RR axle when building my streetfighter.

Check Honda microfiche for front wheel bearing ID comparison. 

 

Good chance spacing in calipers will be correct as the fork spacing is the same, but be prepared to shim calipers and rotors to align properly on center.

SP1/2 wheel uses 22mm axle.

It is the odd one out of honda wheels.

But you can get bearings to fit smaller or larger axles.

Attached is an info sheet I put together, I'm sure it is accurate but you might need to double check.

The RC36's fork spacing is approx. 22mm narrower than the SP2's fork spacing, so unless the latter's wheel is 22mm wider (or the discs have  radically less offset), that ain't gonna work.  And that's ignoring the axle/bearing problem...

 

Ciao,
