CBR600 F2 vs CBR600 F3 front rims?

**quickbuck** · 24th May 2014, 00:12

Hi All,
Somebody must know the answer to this:

Apart from the F3 (95-98) CBR 600 Front when not having the mechanical Speedo Drive the F2 (1991-94) has, are there any other differences between the two?

I realise the F3 has bigger Discs (Floating), but surely the Disc Mounts on the rim are the same?

Basically I want to know if I can get an F3 Rim, fit F2 discs to it and run it on the F2 Race bike.... No need for a Speedo in any case....

Cheers

Shouldn't you be working on that dog slow motor in the bike instead

Ummm, it's faster than yours.......
I seriously thought somebody had gone in real hard when I saw the smoke signals yours left!

Anyhow, Na allthe power in the world won't mean squat if I have slick tyres on a wet track.... No rims available in NZ apparently, so looking at F3 rims off Ebay.

Discs I don't think would be a problem, but I think the mounts for the calipers on the forks are different. I looked into it with my f2/f3 build I did. The F3 Rotors are slightly larger which to me would make it difficult to use the f2 calipers. This linky has some info in the reverse, and mentions a kit that you can get to use f3 rotors on an f2.

Sweet. Cheers for the answer and info.
Really I just want to make sure the wheels take the same axle and also are the same width....
That said, I guess I have the technology to machine spacers if need be.... Just want to keep it all simple though.
