I think older CBR600 front wheels will fit (off a carbed bike). Might be worth a try...

Hi Burbrew. Just buy a 2000 blade. Honda threw in a 17" wheel for free. Would putting a 17" wheel in a bike designed for a 16" just slow the steering down by changing the trail ?

the fartblood used a slightly higher profile tyre on the front effectively making the front end a 17"   They didn't spend all that dosh on research for nowt!   Blades are slappy and twitch like buggery, I've ridden em all, its in their nature.... older Gsxr's used to slap worse! Its more to do with wheelbase/fork trail/headstock angle than the wheel. You can get an adjustable yoke set if you like spending money.   ps, I'm a test rider and I know these fings......or I say I do!
