You'd think I'd be a great resource for finding a front wheel given my position at Honda, but I don't have access to blue prints. I've bugged some guys but they can't release the pdf to me and they have to do a fair amount of searching to verify disc offset, axle size, spacer size, hub width, bolt pattern, etc etc.Looks very cool - it is a new rear axle with the mounting hub and a full strip down of the hub assembly ( seals, clips, bearings etc ) by the look of it.
As he mentioned the front discs don't fit the wheel and have to be carefully re-drilled.
Even with eBay parts I reckon it's a good £6-700 job ( maybe even without VFR discs) - the four stud route and possible new front may be cheaper ...the new style wheels look amazing though !
The new VFR hasn't been out long so parts are sure to be rare and expensive...
I'm still interested in a front wheel conversion to a multi spoked VFR wheel.
I know for a fact the VFR800, RC51, CBR600F3 and a few other bikes would work with some rotors off of other bikes. RC45, CBR1100XX and some other bikes have rotors that should be able to bolt on to one of the aforementioned wheels with little to no mods needed.
