That’s a lot of dosh for a set of OZ's considering for just over a grand you could have had the carbon wheels!!!

Would a set of 2004's fit our birds, weren't they all radial brake models by then?

It also depends if they're the genuine OZ wheels or the Aprilia-made lookalikes. Only the earlier bikes had the genuine OZ wheels. The lookalikes were actually heavier than the standard Brembo wheels, I believe...

<edit>

Just done a bit of searching and turned these posts up. Sounds like the proper information...

They say they're from the Factory, so they should be good ones - though the front one won't fit - can't remember whether it needs spacers or needs machining down ... I've an idea it's the latter.

i've read somewhere that you need spacers to line the disk's up with the callipers.

Alternatively swap the forks for a nice set of Ohlins with radial brake mounts and job's a goodun!
