Started another wheel swap. This bike is getting front and rear 1990 CBR1000F wheels. 5.5 & 3.5 X17.
Finally got back on the lathe and machined the hub and left spacer.
Used a VF750F for initial mock up to figure out the front spacers.
And mounted the rear on the VF1000F. Looking good!
Now I need to strip them down and lay some fresh white paint before the new tires.
Mostly done and it feels great! Front forks completely rebuilt and single compression Gold Valve installed with previously installed RT 1.0 springs. Clearanced the brake torque arm but still need to do a little on the chain guard. I’m going to change one of the front spacers to better work with my dust seal. Also, I changed to a 1986 VFR rear caliper bracket to run a smaller disk, but the stock VF-F rear caliper doesn’t like it with this wheel. I spaced the slide bushing to compensate and prevent the caliper from running out of adjustment until I come up with a different caliper or other solution. YSS +5mm shock installed.
Modified front fender installed and new license bracket and additional rear signals installed.
