Ive been reading alot of the forums on putting a 929 front end on a f4i and everyone says that you have to use a 929 wheel also. Just by looking at a bare wheel they look identical to a f4i's so i was wondering if the actual wheel is different or if it is the rotors, bearings or what? Is there any way that you can make an f4i wheel work because i have a really nice f4i i wheel that was polished and powdercoated and i dont want to have to do all that to another wheel.

F4I wheel will not work on a 929.....

everything must be changed, while your at it get tapered bearings for the steering column, and if you want db bars, I would recoment the 954 or 100rr conversion, or at least triple tree. The 929 triple is slanted and the risers are ungodly.

the difference is the spindle size, im running an f4i front wheel with my 929 setup, You have to machine out the center of the wheel to take the 929 spindle and bearings, and make up a spacer for one side, the disks bolt straight up

ended up costing about £15 instead of £120 for a secondhand wheel

954 triple clamp is slanted too...

do 929's have larger diameter rotors?

f4ibry

yea it can be done, u need like said above, rotors f4i spindle wit machined spacer

it will be cheper to just buy a 929/954 wheel... and the down time you have to find a place to do that work for you....

Don't listen to him.... it's a trick.

I doubt it would be much cheaper because I have about twenty hours in polishing the front wheel alone and it cost about $175 to get the set in translucent powdercoat. I would probably have at least $350 in a 929 wheel when all was said and done. If I can get my f4i wheel machined for less than that and save me the work in polishing, it would be worth it.

Can ya post a pic of these wheels? I've been thinking about something like this (trans powder), and I'd like to see how it came out.

These arent my wheels because mine arent actually back from powder coat yet but I found this picture on the internet and its candy red which is almost the same thing. Ill probably have mine back in about a week or so ill try to post some pics when I get them.
