'99 Hornet 17" Conversion

Was wondering exactly which 17" fronts will fit a '99 Hornet.

I have heard that NC35 and VFR750 fronts will drop straight in, same discs and that.

Are there any other bikes that a 17" will drop straight into a Hornet, also does anyone know what year the VFR needs to be??

Thanks

Chris

I believe that the hornet 600 2000onwards 17inch front wheels fit. You also need the disc for the 17" as the 16" one wont fit IIRC

17incher from a hornet, vfr, blade and some cbrs will fit.
For most of these you will need spacers and disks from a 17inch hornet.
Its a lot of money for not a lot of gain IMO.
Why excatly do you want to do this?

Doesnt make that much difference to the handleing for genrall road riding. Much better to spend your money on suspention.
A number of hornet cup riders prefer the 16inch front.

better choice of rubber on the 17". Stop it feeling like it's falling into corners. I'll just spend the money on suspendy mods instead. Thanks guys!

I love the 16" wheel on the Hornet, handles fine and looks better imo. Most the 17" front only tyres I don't like anyway, all the best ones come in 16" aswell Cool
