Nah. Will do if I fit it, but I don't think I will- loads of work for no gain apart from looks. We'll see.

Yeah, but it'll be the same amount of hassle to do the same thing with a lighter wheel. Doesn't have to be expensive either. If it was an easy fit like the Bandit wheel I'd definately do it though.

Northy - my wheels are also branded Brembo - they are from a 999R, Black forged Aluminium

Just spoke to a chap who has the complete back for me (brakes/spindles/Swingarms, etc)

Will take a look this weekend,

ummm...

Do you know if you can use other manufacturers discs or will you be using duke parts?

I reckon that's the only sensible way to do it- so it's not just a case of what physically fits unfirtunately. But as long as the wheel's too narrow you can work around it at least. Still looking for a 996/ST4/Monster 5-spoker front to try in mine. SRAD yokes are nice and wide though so gives plenty of space to work with, and I've got a choice of forks
