i have done the complete swap,saved 6 + lbs & gained a solid tenth in the 1\8. it is way worth the mod for the cost.Do you have a way to weigh them? I really dont think you are going to get any weight savings between a Gen 2 stock wheel and an R1 stock wheel.
What all did you need for the mod and where can you get it?i have done the complete swap,saved 6 + lbs & gained a solid tenth in the 1\8. it is way worth the mod for the cost.
depending on your swingarm make,chain alignment offset may vary from swingarm to swingarm.I just put a R1 wheel on the back of my 08 busa-You need to mill .120 off the rear caliper hanger, or you could make a thicker spacer to go between the caliper hanger and rear wheel.
If you do not mill the caliper hanger- the (gen 2 busa) caliper and the R1 rotor will not be properly aligned, at first I was going to shave some off the right side wheel spacer.....but the spacer is already flush with the dust seal. My rear axle would not go thru the wheel when I first tried because the caliper hanger was so out of alignment.depending on your swingarm make,chain alignment offset may vary from swingarm to swingarm.
use a R-1 CALIPER& HANGER W/PROPER SPACING AS THIS COMBO RADIALLY WILL BE THE CORRECT MEASUREMENT.NOT TO MENTION THE R-1 brake assy is much lighter than the 2nd gen busa & has less drag on the disc.with the R-1 hanger flush to the rear rim spacer the caliper will line up axially,then make a spacer for between the hanger & swing arm,your done.If you do not mill the caliper hanger- the (gen 2 busa) caliper and the R1 rotor will not be properly aligned, at first I was going to shave some off the right side wheel spacer.....but the spacer is already flush with the dust seal.
