Gen 2 R1 Wheel Project

[mike04busa]

Just got my wheels in the mail today. Put the new sprocket on. I have to get the front rotor spacers and the rear rotor and iam ready to mount them up. Next pics should be with the new wheels all mounted up

I would like to do this also. Please keep us posted of any issues you encounter

Cool
Would you weigh each one vs the Busa?

Please keep us posted of any issues you encounter.

Isn't the rear wheel a straight up swap out ~ I believe the front has spacer issues to make it work . . .

I wonder if it would be easier to mount up an R1 front end under there with everything . . .

Just need a axle made for the R1 wheel.

The rear rotor is a smaller diameter on the Busa wheel. I believe SAE makes the correct one that fits the Yamaha wheel You may or may not need to use a spacer in between the rear wheel and inside of the swing arm. On my gen 1 I used a thin washer so that when I tightened the rear wheel it diddnt get pulled into the rear wheel spacers. I diddnt want to "squeeze" the swingarm to close up the very small void there was. I read that someone makes the spacers for the front rotors. I need to call and find out. I will weight the wheels once everything is apart. By the way REDBULL, that's a nice looking Busa man.

Redbull ... You only running a single brake disc ??

RedBull doesn't need brakes. They just cause him to slow down and he doesn't have time for that.

That is a great looking bike by the way Red.

[RedBull]

I don't believe that's Reds bike . . .

Maybe I'm right ?

You are 100% right about that one ~ I've still got my old Gen 1 Hayabusa . . .
