I haven't heard of anyone doing this, but I have thought about it a few times in the 4 years I have owned my SCR.
I absolutely HATE tubes! You get a flat way out there, about 40 miles south of Jesus, and you are dead in the water! Also, spokes look cool, but are a pain in the arse to clean. If my memory serves me right, I think the cast wheels from a Bolt will fit, but I think they are different diameters? Let us know what you find. Jevers

It is inner tubes that bother me. I haven't given any thought to where to get cast wheels from as I haven't got the bike yet. I should have it in less than a fortnight. There is some anti-puncture stuff you can put in the tyre. We had it in England, but I haven't lived there for 11 years.It wouldn't have cost Yamaha that much more to fit cross-spoke wheels as the spoke jobs that come as standard are good quality. You are right: spoked wheels are tough to clean. I also think good quality cast wheels look good. My old Buell Ulysses has good quality ones.
XSR 700 wheels work! Had to use the front end obviously but the rear wheel swaps easy, just need to use the cush drive from the original wheel to space the pulley out and will need and MT09 front brake rotor to fit
