VFR 750 wheels tend to go for around £70 to £100 plus, depending on condition.

Add onto that postage, modifying the Hub,and painting/powder coating, and it soon adds up!

Then You may have the issue of the chain getting in the way of the tyre, so You may( but not always) need a spacer Kit From Rick Oliver.

A simple 17" Delkevic wheel from ebay or the like may only be £200, will be finished well, will keep the overall same look of the bike, and easier to do!

But thats just my opinion after carrying out several different wheel fitments/configurations over the years.

Smev I remember they used to be on ebay but I can no longer find them and I remember they were around the 150 mark. If you know where I can get one let me know. And Rick does the spacer in the kit also.

and another, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HONDA-VFR-750 ... 2c61030863

Hope these are still available for you!

I have the complete kit and rear wheel, will be going on ebay Sunday but is on for sale section here for £200 complete. White wheel and complete converted hub.

would I be right in saying that the 5.5" is NOT suitable?

Thats a great deal from Aly there!!

and as far as I'm aware the only suitable one is the one in the links.

the 5.5" one is great looking but will end up too wide, and need a wider tyre which will more than likely rub on the swing arm and on the sub frame or undertray when the suspension is compressed.

Cheers Smev for the advice and ATM just snooping around as it's that time of year when the projects start! How did you get on with my fairings I'm buying some OEM ones as taking bike back to standard well as best as I can!

the fainings are still a work in progress!!! they will be finished off in the new year tho!!

Here is a link to my thread with some pics - viewtopic.php?f=62&t=2702&start=150

I've done a load of little repairs on them too.

Cheers

I'm a little confused, as it has been said that the early ones were 5" whilst the later ones were 5.5". There was one post on this thread that suggested that the 90-93 model had 8 spokes with a 5.5" rim, the 94-97 model had 5 spokes with a 5" rim and the 98 - 2010 model had 5 spokes with a 5.5" rim.

5.5" should fit ok, you may have to space the chain over but it should fit
