You might have to jack up the rear end slightly. Isn't that a MK1 Honda BROS rear wheel? Smile

Bros wheels look shite compared to the standard VFR wheels

andrew · Mister Road Rage Joined: 03 Feb 2002 Karma :

Blatently, dean if its a bros wheel i wouldnt bother.

Robby · Dirty Old Man Joined: 16 May 2002 Karma :

Its ugly, but its just what the VFR needs - on my old NC24 with the 16 inch front and 18 rear, the rear tyre always turned really slowly in comparison to the front, felt odd.

Deano · World Chat Champion Joined: 17 Feb 2003 Karma :

I know I have to jak-up my rear end it's not a problem I actually intend to do that. So sorry tarts Razz

if it's an ugly wheel, thats not the reason I buying it for. the wheel will look good once resprayed and it is a honda bros wheel thats been machined to fit. Very Happy

I can't complain as I'm getting it cheap. Half the price you would normally pay for a RVF rear wheel.

Erm.. can't you get 090s for the 18" anyway... and I thought the general consensus was that that was 'quality' rubber?

Craig_ · Trackday Trickster Joined: 06 Oct 2003 Karma :

Yes you can get 090's, or used to be able to get them for the 18" wheels.

Why other than size do you want to do it? Personally I don't like the Honda BROS wheels but then that is personal preference.

With the 17" there's a much wider choice with Michelins etc. They're mainly popular with racers so they can fit the best slicks, although they usually go for an RVF or VFR750 wheel. Wouldn't an old Bros wheel be heavier and increase the unsprung weight?

Mainly tyre choice and also tyres tend to be cheaper in 17 than 18.
and Maurice the rear suspension will eventually be sent off to be modified so that the rear will be raised.

Cheers Kevo, i think bt090's will be th tyres that I opt for in the end and most probably get some more slick roads tyre nearer summer time. I will check the site nearer to the time when my funds will let me able to afford the mod. What do you reckon it will cost me for the mod Kevo, I have a figure of about £150 in my head.

To get a quality brand-new longer shock you're looking at £400 plus depending on what you go for. I think the adjustable suspension linkages are less than £50. You can also get your existing shock lengthened and rebuilt for around your sort of figure.

Deano · World Chat Champion Joined: 17 Feb 2003 Karma :

I won't buy a new shock as I know I will never push the bike that hard for it to make a difference. The bros wheel that I'm buying was used for racing but the guy selling it bought some dymags so doesn't need it anymore. I'll end up getting it extended.

Deano: Hagon shocks from Buster's are about £220-270ish. Not bad for a good make like Hagon. I'd try them first matey.

Deano · World Chat Champion Joined: 17 Feb 2003 Karma :
