Really, that wide? OK, thanks! Then it's not possible to bolt on a R1 rim. What dimension is the shaft btw?

And just to clarify, I don't mean the distance between the actual brake area, the swept area, but the wheel's thickness where they bolt on. I think You understood that right, but just wanted to make myself a bit clearer. English isn't the first language for me nor for plenty others here :)

I looked at the wrong nrs, my Marvic rims have 115,3 mm between disc to disc where they bolt on, and the other rim (YZF750 or standard) has 113 mm.
were they bolt on is 125mm, across the wheel,ive now measured it with a vernier ,,, shaft or axle is 22mm ,, don't forget there is no speedo drive on the R1 so perhaps that's why its wider :D

Does anyone know which fenders other than YZF750 will work with the YZF forks, wheel and discs?

I mean with no or minimal modifications to anything, as I don't have a lathe (or a 5-axis CNC machine) to make up special mounting brackets... :D :wink:

Was going to get a new YZF pattern fender from ARD, but if I can use my TRX one or another black Yamaha one off e-bay, that would be cheaper.
