Why not just strip the black paint off of your existing wheels and repaint them?
Whats too say the bearing dia innthe wheel isnt the same ? I have cbr 900 rear wheel and a cbr600 f3 wheel onnmy 599 both wheels had diff size axles i used bearings and spacers for the 599 i bet the 1100 is the same way
Also its not impossible to measure and fit correct bearings for your axle
My plan is too chrome a set of 1100 wheels their easy too keep clean

after researching i am correcting what i said they do not make a 20x47x12 bearing thats sealed to convert the rear '13 too a '14 size you would have to swap axle and possibly swing arm
but i will still chrome a set of 14 wheels

Yeah, they changed a lot on the bike from 13 to 14. They look very similar, and many parts do interchange, but not the wheels (easily) or anything associated with them.
I've been in the parts game for a long time and try my best to do my due diligence before I post about interchangeability on anything. I have been bitten HARD by that bug and I try and have all of the correct information before I post.
Sometimes it's a simple thing to swap parts, sometimes, not so much.
I'm eager to see how chrome alloys look on one of these. I hope they come out looking awesome!
