cbr rear wheel

[yorkie_chris]

Right then here's one for y'all.

I'm quite liking the thought of putting a 180 rear on the SV, mainly because I can get 1000 miles worth of part worn for a fiver, sticky ones at that.

I'm also after something which is an upgrade, rather than the bandit 1200 rear which from picking one up the other day is around 4 metric tons.

I'm looking at the CBR F3 rear wheel, seen a spacer kit here;

However, am I right in thinking that the F3's are all 5-spoke?

Do you think it'll look daft with a 3s front and 5s rear? (bear in mind the front has got mahoosive 320mm rotors either side)

Yes, all F3's are 5 spoke wheels as ued by Honda up to about 1998 on 400's 600's and 900's in various sizes. I have managed to fit CBR 600 wheels front & rear. Search for posts by me (nedsvs) and hopefully you will find my post with photos of both wheels fitted. If you want any more info PM me or continue with this thread, but please be patient - I'm happy to help, but I am a busy man! Incidentally, personally I wouldn't fit bigger than a 170 to the F3 5.00 inch rim.

F3 wheels are 5 spoke,so is F2 which looks identical but is 4.5 inch instead 5 inch for F3.
F4 or 900 also look almost same but are 5.5 and dont fit on sv without machining wheel itself.180 is not best tire for F3 wheel.160 or 170 at most.
kit on ebay is copy of twin works factory kit but more expensive.you also have to deal with rotor diameter and sometime with sprocket carrier studs.

do they just bolt straight on?

I'd like that idea is there any wheels that'd fit just being a straight swap? Or is it a slight modification job?

Be a mod on spacers me thinks?

Chris you should just buy the CBR to go with it...Funnily enough I have......

Hmmmmm

Well I don't mind messing about, can easily get spacers made and such.

3 spoke 5.5inch ones from a fireblade maybe? The big issue is probably the distance between the rotor and sprocket and how to get a 525 sprocket to fit. Hmmm.

Just put a 180 tyre on ya SV rim, that is what I did!

The old nails like you have run a 160 section rear like the SV though
