I would like to find an 09 front cast wheel and put it on my 08 RG w/ABS. I know I would have to get one off of an 09 with ABS. This would be going from a 16 to an 18. I am not going to mess with the back one since you can not see it anyway.

Is this possible, if so what mods would have to be done or would it be an even swap?

Thanks

 

The 09's have a 17" not a 18".

 

I think the axle size might be different?

 

That's right it is 17", it is 18" front on the SERG.

I am wanting to do a 17" front.

 

I thought the axle changed in 08, did they change again in 09?

 

bump!!!!

 

Another Bump!

 

axle is 25mm starting in 08 and again in 09

 

You could get one off a non-abs bike and change the bearing. I don't know about the size changes for 09. But the bearing is the only difference in abs and non abs wheels.

 

Don't know what cast wheel you are looking for, but I have a brand new wheel and tire off my 09 SG for sale if you are interested.
