what other front wheels fit on a TRX without modifications?

Post by TonyDevil » Mon Apr 21, 2008 1:22 pm

having trouble sourcing an undamaged front wheel at a sensible price so looking to see what others fit

FZS600 ?
YZF600 ?

and do they use the same size tyres?
TRX850 1997 - sunny day twisty toy
TDM900 2003 - commuting tool
TDM850 mk1 - scratching & touring
Z750 hardtail - project
gone but not forgotten : - XTZ750, GS500, GS125

Thundercat and R6 are a no (but can be made to fit without too much work)

I believe that the later FZR600 is a straight fit

dunno about FZS or fazer

pretty much all sports bikes now run 120/70/17 fronts so no problem with tyres

Yamaha have an annoying habit of changing the part number by model even if the part is the same.

They will also insist that there are year changes as well for certain parts.
