Cool man!! I like putting personal touches on a bike, I think a rider appreciates it more when they have used their creativity and conjured up something special like your bike.
Nice work!
Is the F3 front rim a direct bolt on change? Did you have to do any modifications for it to fit on your forks?
Thanks!
Actually, the 17" conversion was already done when I got it. The forks/front wheel and the motor were the only things assembled when I picked it up.
It is a direct bolt-on for the 95-97 (I think the 95 has an electronic speedometer). You just use the 900RR rotors, axel, and spacers. No additional mods are required.
With a 93 & 94, you lose the speedometer drive and have to convert over to the 95-99 speedometer (note that the 96-97 and 98-99 have different gauges), driven off the output shaft (front sprocket). This also involves changing out the wiring harness and gauges, which leads to other issues like the fuel pump wiring (96-99 models do not use a fuel pump). Unless you don't care about losing the speedometer.
On a 98-99, the rotors have a different bolt pattern and have to be machined (redrilled) to work with the bolt pattern on the F3 wheel. Also, the forks are spaced farther appart, so you have to add extra spacers to each side.
Hope this explains it.
