Wheels

[Swiss Toni]

Am I right in thinking Mk1 B6 wheels (straight spoke), and Mk2 (curved spoke) are interchangeable? Thinking about fitting to 750 Slabbie. 

[Captain Chaos]

I thought Mk1 had curved spokes and Mk2 had straight spokes?

The Mk1 has a speedo drive on the front wheel, the Mk2 doesn't.

Was thinking mainly rear wheel, to match Slingshot front. And, to add, I think straight spokes were Mk1 1200's?

MK1 and MK2 600 had curved spoke wheels. 

Pretty sure they are the same wheel on both models

Mk2 600 has straight spokes for sure

My bad. I thought it was the 650 that went to straight.

Yes mk1 b6 has curved, mk2 b6 has straight  

The rf6 front is curved and use the b6 discs and same spacers etc but is a 3.5" rim instead of the 2 .5" on the b6  just a bit of useless info

bought a B6 18 months ago to commute on, wanted mark 2 wheels to get the wider front rim, mark 1 curved spake front 3 inch rear 4.5 inch, mark 2 straight spokes 3,5 inch front 4.5 inch rear.

 

BUT the fronts is a  straight swop, whereas the  the rears aint, you need the sprocket carrier, the spacers and caliper hanger to make it fit..

 

once i finished it it rained non stop fro 2 weeks so i sold the bloody thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
