They could be adapted to fit, but they would not just bolt right on.
I think that the rear axles sizes are different on the 2 bikes. this would simply need changes of the bearings, seals, collars and/or spacers. If you give me your rear axle diameter I can check this for you.
The front wheel; I think that the axles are different sizes . And if I remember correctly the SB6R speedo pick up is a mechanical one at the front axle.....I dont know this as a fact so just look as see. The speedo pick up for the SB8R/SB8RS is off the front sprocket.
Any wheel shop could adapt them for you. Ive had this type of thing done on a number of my bikes in the past.
For example; if your axles are smaller in diameter you can either have sleeves made to get the wheels to fit, or change the bearing, seals, and such.
If you can move a front speedo pick up to another location, that would be one way to adapt the front....or have the front wheel hub adapted to use your existing speedo pick up.
Look closely at your bike and get back to me.
If you email me I can send you close up pictures of the whhel hubs.
I think that the front and rear brake rotors on your bike will bolt on. You will need a 5 bolt Marchesini rear sprocket ( if you need one in 520 I have both a 39T and a 40T....and i can give that to you if you buy the wheels).
Anything like wheel adaptations can be done. It will take a little time and money to get them to work but not to bad.......it all depends on how mechanically inclined you are.....and a good wheel shop can help alot.
For example; I had a set of Marchesini mag wheels adapted to one of my bikes and it only cost me $200 USD at a local wheel repair shop to get it to work.
Since both the SB6R and SB8R/SB8RS use similar Antera wheels OEM/stock, it should be possible......easier than getting a wheel made for a different brand to fit ( and Ive done that too...).
