Hi everyone, I hope you're having a good Thursday so far. I was wondering if anyone with a bit more knowledge about Ducati's could shed any light please. I bought a cafe racer project last earlier this year which was partially worked on - it had a fork conversion and, I would assume, the front wheel that came with that. At the time I was advised it was from a Honda CBR600RR however the front wheel doesn't seem to match and from just general searching online it seems the closest I have found to the style is from a Ducati. Is anybody able to please confirm whether this is the case (or indeed tell me I'm barking up the wrong tree?) - it's 17" Much appreciated, Matt
Difficult to see from the picture, what size is the tyre? 110/70 17? Any other markings or logos on the wheel?
Thanks for the quick responses, and to answer some of the points: The only number I can find is J17XMT3.5 (although I'm not sure if this is the part number) - I've attached another couple of photos Yes, the tyre size is 110/70 17, but apart from the number above there doesn't seem to be any other identifying marks unfortunately. Yes, it did have a mechanical speedo drive, so suspect it's fairly old! Much appreciated everyone.
Any part numbers on the aftermarket disc that would give any clues? The boxy fork bottoms don't look like anything Showa/Honda.
I had a good look for that wheel and absolutely no idea, the only thing i could find that was similar is the Ducati 959 supersport but that is modern, so no idea.
Spent a bit of time on t’internet whilst chillin’ and the wheel looks very similar to ones made by ENKEI for 90’s Hondas and Kawasakis. Andy
Thanks for spending your time investigating guys, it's a bit of a mystery. I'll have a look into the Enkei's and I guess the next job is trying to work out where he front end is from. Really appreciate your help.

Ouch, not a Ducati then! Looks like we were fibbed to a little bit! Thanks so much for finding that, and it looks like we'll be having to source a new front end.
