What year R1000 are you converting?
Thats probably more of a consequence of the spokes you are using, and has less to do with the rim. A heavily dished road wheel with CXRays on the DS will not be as stiff as a wheel built with a spoke that is not as strongly butted (DT competitions or Wheelsmith DB14s, for instance) on the DS. I'm guessing your spokes are 20-18-20 or 20-17-20. CXRays are 20-15-20. On the front and NDS rear it doesn't matter so much. The lack of dish on a track wheel makes it so much stiffer (and more structurally sound) that the thickness of the spokes doesn't matter so much.
