Has anyone fitted an 8 spoke rear wheel to their Mk1 Crossrunner?
Can’t help thinking the rear wheel is a bit clunky. An 8 spoke would be way prettier.
I’m hoping this is possible, or I’ve just made an expensive mistake. 😉

It'll fit.
And otherwise sell the wheel, they are quite sought after (is that a word in English, or just in my Dunglish?).
So either way it wan't be an expensive mistake.
Stop making sense

Very sought after.
But, you know, I really like the 14+/15+ 800F/800X rear wheel. That would look great too but it requires 5 nuts as opposed to the 4 on the 8-spokers. But you can convert them.
Please send us pics when yours is fitted, it will look great.

14 VFR1200 - 20,000 miles
18 VFR800X - 16,000 miles
01 VFR800 Fi-1 - 9000 miles

Good to hear. I’ve done a fair bit of research, but always good to get actual confirmation.
Thought about the MK 2 wheel conversion, but then you’d need a front to match.
The 8 spoke should go well with the 6 spoke front I think.
I paid more than I’d like and still need to get it stripped and painted, but I think I’ll finally be happy with the way the bike looks and goes.
So far mods are:
Handle bar conversion
Suspension upgrade ( Hyperpro both ends )
Crash bars
Aux lights
EBC discs ( forced by warped disc )
Rear wheel 8 spoke ( soonish )
Possible future
Denali flush mount LED indicators

Thoughts on powder coat temperatures weakening cast alloy wheels?
What’s originally on these? Paint or powder?

I’m thinking this sort of colour would look good with the graphite black bodywork.
Does mean I’d have to change the front to match eventually also

Might try Cerakote. Anyone used it and been happy with the results?

She’s done, could have gone with a more exciting colour on the wheels, maybe next time.
This is actually described as a very very dark ( almost black ) dark green metallic.
In the sun you can see it. Otherwise it just looks black.
