I am trying to find some wheels to give more choice and lower costs on rubber for my NSR300.

Anyone here got some Honda RS250 wheels sitting in the shed they want to turn into cash money?

Another option to get on some bigger rubber is a 3.5" front from a VFR or RVF or CBR600 F3. All straight bolt for my NSR

Send a PM if you got the goods.

Bike busters in Ngaruawahia should have some VFR,CBR,VTR front wheels.

Mmm, I know at least one NC30 owner who may be interested - but they're all cheap B's so maybe not....

Yeah MC21 so no go. Rather hard to find that wheel you have.

I have just brought a set of KTM Duke 690 wheels so will be all sorted after a bit of tinkering.

Yeah mate. I actually had some under the bench I got from Japan. I sold them before I built the 300. Fool! But to be honest all that stuff is getting on now and I would not like a wheel failure of any kind. The KTM wheels I have now are lighter than standard NSR wheels and the perfect size.

But you specifically asked for RS250 wheels?
You just bought some KTM wheels now though? Interested in what KTM they're off.

I think the KTM wheels might be a better option than the VFR/RVF front at least.
Those wheels are as heavy as a motherfucker.

Well I have the KTM 690 duke wheels now. Not much of an issues to get them in. I am hoping to make the single 320mm rotor work. I have a 15rcs brembo caliper and some new sbs pads so that will be the starting point. It looks like a total weight saving of 5.5 kg is on the cards if the single disk setup can haul it up. We will see.
