VFR750 rear wheel con

Post by scotjell » Tue Nov 22, 2011 5:20 pm

All I know there is somewhere on here regarding the conversion, the question I have is there a specific wheel I need and yes I know it's the 4 hole single sided one ;)

I think so but bear in mind i do not have a vfr750 rear ive got a rvf400 rear so not 100% sure, to the best of my knowledge i would say so, this will need the rick o converted hud to allow you to fit it, there are 2 vfr rears once a 5" and ones 5.5" its the 5" you want off the earlier vfr750.

again this is to the best of my knowledge.

viewtopic.php?f=22&t=21878&hilit=vfr750 ... conversion

try this 5 spoke curvy 5" so i guess that one is the right one.

vfr rears = 90-93 8 spoke 5.5", 94-97 5 spoke 5", 98 - 2010 5 spoke 5.5"
being able to ride from point A to point B does not mean you have skills

The 5" isn't that much of an advantage? What are you doing the conversion for?

You can put a 160 on a 17" 4.5 rim if you have the RVF rear wheel

They are becoming a little scarce now and fetching top dollar for the RVF 17" now and this was just a cheaper alternative. Reason for doing it is tyre choice mainly as the 090's are still fetching good money too.

I don't know about cheaper alternative, becuase you will have to modify the hub, or get a hub unit of Rick Oliver I think £120 exchange.

Yes but if I can pick up a wheel cheap enough. Bargain! Or else 17" are going for £200+
