Hi all
Hopefully I'm not doubling up on an existing thread, did look but couldn't find anything dedicated to it. I'm fitting VFR800 wI sssa and front and rear wheels to my Firestorm project. Just wondered if anyone has direct experience of fitting the VFR front wheel to Firestorm forks? I'm hoping it's simply a matter of appropriately sized replacement bearings and jobs a good'n. Anyone know for sure? I don't currently have a VTR front axle to offer up despite having the forks and the VFR wheel.

Last of the VFR750 front wheels is what you want if your looking for a straight fit.
The 800 wheel requires wheels spacers making up and caliper spacers as the discs don't line up. the 750 wheel is same fitment as storm, easier fit and looks the same as the 800.

Nice one, thanks Popkat.
Anyone wanna but a VFR800 front wheel?? :lol: just kidding, I got it for nowt with a good tyre on it. I can get spacers machined for the cost of a pizza or two. Thanks again.
