Sorry if this has been covered before, i have searched but couldn't find anything on it.

I would like to fit the RVF rear wheel to my 1992 NC30. Is there any modifications needed or will it fit straight on?
thanks.

The wheel itself will fit on without any modification ( if you can find one) but you will also need the RVF suspension linkage to raise the back end slightly and offset the reduction in height going from the 18 inch rear wheel to a 17 inch wheel.

Your challenge now is to find an RVF rear wheel! I think the last one I saw change hands went for £250 but I have Seen them go for £300+ ob Ebay

ahh, well I don't want one that much, the bank wont fund it /: haha well I guess I will just have to give the bt-090's a go... I have the bt-092's on at the moment.

090's stick like shit to a blanket

you just won't get as much mileage out of them.

haha that's what I was hoping haha. yeah well I thought i'll give them a go and if the mileage is really bad then I guess back to the bt-092's :/ or maybe 090 front and 092 rear?

090 front and 092 rear works well, but 090 all round is better still.

I have a spare rear with an 090 on for having fun with. 092 for commuting etc.
