    Hi,

    I'm looking for either just a front wheel or a pair of wheels for my 09 CBR1000RR. I hit a pot hole before September, but as the weather was pretty crap, never bothered to get them fixed! Now the sun is out, it's about time!

    Preferably just a front wheel, but will take a pair of wheels. Don't need discs or sprocket, just the wheels. The bike is a Repsol, but anything will do, I am not to fussed about colour. Been checking Ebay but there doesn't seem to be anything on there!

    Please help me :(

    Will that work?

    Is there any noticiable difference in weight between the different bikes?

    Will it just fit straight on if I get 2mm taken off the discs?

    Can I not put my 08 discs on the 07 wheels?

    How bads the wheel mate? I was in exactly the same postion, the only wheels I could find for sale was stupid prices. I got mine repaired, honestly can't see where the damage was. May be worth giving these guy's a try, just by luck their only 10 minutes from where I live.
