Does anybody know if 916/748/996 wheels will fit on a S2R?

Thanks,

I'm pretty sure they fit, but no FHE so take that as $.02  [coffee]

I suspect the 3-spoke 916 wheels are just as heavy as the older Monster 3-spokers.
Front wheel may be identical unit to older Monster 3-spokers.

I suspect the 5-spoke SBK wheels are the same as the OEM S*R, weight wise.

I'm using an old 916 rear to suspend an S2R800 at my shop right now, so yes...the rear will work.  The front?  Yes as well as all 916 bikes had the 25mm front axle (IIRC).

How about a set of 998 wheels?

Should.  I know someone who very quickly swapped a set of S2R800 5 spokes onto his 996 - he said it was just a matter of swapping the rotors and hub
-Throttle's on the right, so are the brakes.  Good luck.
