Hi Kev,

There was a complete front end of K8 for sale on ebay..for some $980 (Approx)..I think if you change the entire setup then it should work fine.

Cheers,
Bill

I think you will have to run the K8 wheel also as the rotor sits out more on the K8

the rotors on a gen 2 are 5mm further out and the gen2 rotors are 10mm smaller in dia.You can fit a gen 1 wheel and space the rotors out 2.5mm each side and put spacers under the caliper mounts to fit the 320mm rotors,its not a big deal but if theres a gen2 wheel there on offer grab it.

I'd get the whole front end if its worth it, if you were in a bad prang on the the road, if the Cops, RTA or Insurance company were to get involved you may be in a little trouble me thinks.

Hey Kev, no one plans to crash, shit happens.

your so right there greeny so very right

my thinking was that if the tubes are the same diameter then i would just change the wheel and bottom og the tubes over so i can take advantage of the better brakeing system,

if i can do this then i would be happy, just a slight mod thats all

If you just want better braking, then just fit Brembo's to what you have
