Hi folks, Anyone know if those gray 5 spoke oem Marchesinins that come with ST2, ST4 and 800SS/1000SS models will bolt onto a '93 907? I've looked closely at photos of both wheel versions, and the brake carrier holes seem to match but there's no way of my guessing about the axle diameters/lengths or spacer requirements. Any real world experience on this? The fact that I've never found a google photo of this swap makes me think it can't be done for some reason. I hope I'm wrong 'cause I like that 5 spoke look! thanks! |

The ST wheels have 25mm axles back and front. I think they could be made to fit with the correct bearings and spacers where necessary. They also use a different speedo drive so you'd probably have to make same changes there, or perhaps you could use the ST drive if the ratio is the same. |

Early SS and Monster wheels use the 17mm axles which are easy to swap out, but trying to use a wheel with a 25mm axle in a 17mm suspension will require some tricks to say the least. Not an easy swap. I just put a new Sport Classic wheel (25mm axle) on a 1990 Sport swingarm, (17mm) and there was some lathe work, and some mill work and special parts made, and a mix of parts from different years, etc. In short, if I let a shop mechanic change my tire, It is unlikely he will get it back together right. It works, and looks right on the bike, but I spent a lot of time making that damn wheel fit and line up right. Not a simple thing, but can be done. One of the big challenges is that if you have bearing that is made for 17mm axle, the width is different than a bearing made for a 25mm axle, even though the outside diameter is the same. So the spacing in the forks or swingarm are now different. It gets complicated quickly. Cheers, Phil |
