Re: 3TJ Direct wheel swaps
They'd probably fit - you'll need a sprocket carrier though

Re: 3TJ Direct wheel swaps
Doing some digging, it appears modern R6 wheels are setup with the right rotor spacing to work. If you run 03-05 R6 rotors you can run any R6 wheel up to current, reading says the 5 spokers are lighter. Only trick will be custom axle spacers. I'm now trying to get my hands on a wheel to verify this with.

Re: 3TJ Direct wheel swaps
Spindle dia is probably different too so you'll need a packer, unless you can get bearings and the hub tube to fit

I'm hoping the R6 axle is larger, that'll allow for easy captive spacer design.Evilchicken0 wrote:Spindle dia is probably different too so you'll need a packer, unless you can get bearings and the hub tube to fit
