Seen quite a few hexheads and tc's with 17" front wheels but which replacement wheel would you user on a WC?

from the darkside this was sent
 
I've seen a few WC's with 17" front wheels fitted. The first bike that I saw pre-dated the release of the R and RS and as such I guess the wheel must have come from an RT. Given that the RT shares a telelever front end with the GS rather than telescopic forks as per R and RS, the RT would be my choice:thumby:

Or get a pair of carbon fibre BST wheels:augie
 
seen a few super moto types. One with k1300 wheels, the other?? no idea! But as mentioned, the new R and RS should help.
