It's the 5" one which fits (with a sprocket spacer), and the 5.5 is too wide, can anyone confirm please?
Yeah it's the 5" wheel you need.

Are you in Aus Mockery? Someone I know is selling a vfr750 setup for the NC.

Yeah, i'm in Perth.
Not really looking to buy gear right away though, just doing the research and hoping others can benefit by it.

Although I guess if the price was really nice...

As already said its the 5" one thats required - it has the more rounded spokes as in the pictures in the link posted up.

The 5.5" one looks real nice - it has a 'flatter' appearance but unfortunately its too wide.

FAO those who use Dymag wheels:
This is the cast-magnesium 17" x 5.25", available in 3- or 5-spoke, correct?
It's wider then than the 5" VFR750 wheel, how does it go with chain clearance? I seems to recall hearing somewhere that it necessitates removal or cutting of the chain guard... Or does that happen with the VFR750 wheel anyway?
