You have to have one custommade as you cannot use the std. Bros spacer.

I looked at doing this once before.
A spacer isn't always needed - and the hub of the wheel needed modifying before it would fit onto the NC30.
I think that some of the holes on the back of the wheels were slightly offset and sections needed to be ground away for the clearance problems with the disc nuts/bolts.
Thats what put me off really - cutting pieces out/off the wheel seemed slightly dangerous to me and might unbalance the wheel too.
Saying that though - some racers use them because they're allegedly lighter
Hope this helps

A custom made spacer is needed unless you modify the rear axis.

The amount of material removed from the wheel hub raises IMHO no security issue. The problem is that the holes for the rear axis pins are placed on a 100mm circle on the Bross wheel and on a 110mm circle for the RVF wheel.

They weight app. 1kg more than a std RVF rear wheel. :o
