    They are the same fit yes.

    Only thing you need to look out for is if you have an ABS model, you will need the wheels off of a 2012 ABS bike.

    I heard a rumour that 2012 wheels are a tad heavier than the 10 ones too but they do look alot nicer

    They my be slightly heavier, but it's where the weight is centralised that improves the gyroscopic effect.

    Thanks. those SP wheels are tidy although my hrc is a non abs model. the plan is to convert to a suzuka 8hr looka alike. i've a new headlight unit & a old cracked top fairing im going to plastic & fill one of the lights for a numberboard. There's a wee bit of surgery involved as i'll have to remove the lense to get the numbeboard flush but its nothing that cant be done. Only thing is i'll have to put the light on the other side & its dip beam only
    Who needs main beam any way!!

    Look good - those look to be off the ABS model - different rear wheel to standard.

    I think you can still fit ABS wheels to a non ABS but not the other way
