Then maybe go for the 'Ace wheel and machine the R1 forkleg instead... by memory you need to take off 8mm from the inside face of the fork lower to accommodate the drive.
If you're set on an electronic speedo I guess you could remove the bevel drive from the housing and rotate it so that the drive output is hidden behind the mudguard... Or just keep it and use a good ol mech speedo!
I might have been lucky, but I picked up a Thunderarse wheel with discs and a useable tyre on FleaBuy for £50.00 The speedo drive cost me another £10.00 and I turned up my own axle spacer from the old R1 steering stem.
