I read that the wheels from an 1198 will fit the SS; a straight swap. I have one so thought I would see how they looked. The rear is a straight swap & I like the 190 rear. I haven't done the front but I understand I just need to swap the discs over. I think I prefer black wheels on the SS so will get another 6" rim from a 1098/1198.
That looks lovely, I am MEGA surprised though that they fitted the 'big' axle to the Supersport and not the smaller one as fitted to the 848/Hypermotard etc. I think maybe future planning for a larger engine bike perhaps. Anyway personal view but I think it looks bang on with the gold wheels, and have always loved that design.
Mate - Looking at the picture you are halfway there. You just need to remove one wheel and exchange it. PS. Its not the beautiful rear one!
Both fitted. I know these aren't really gold, but they are growing on me. My 1198 is coming off the road for a while anyway.
I briefly took the SS out for a short run with the 1198 wheels & liked they way it felt as well as looked. In the end I felt guilty hobbling the 1198 so swapped them back Then slid off the SS on a left hander; can't explain it. The road was dry etc & I was only plodding; there was some fine gravel around. Only a slow low side but it has caused quite a lot of damage
Thanks fellas. It looked light at first so I had every intention of fixing it without going through the insurance, but after looking more closely, something looks off alignment wise. Waiting on the insurance co to start the process; never had a claim before.
