im in the workings of doing the same to my 2002 xt 600
i got a set of excel wheels of ebay they were from a dt the front has gon on
not probs at all in fact it looks identical to urs hub and all.

the prob im having is the rear its gonna require lots of spacers to move this this way and that that way plus an xt sprocket will not fit the hub

i was hoping u could do me a favour and tell me the spacing between the disc
an sprocket amount of spokes , internal swingarm width and if the rims r excel

hell off a lot to ask i no
but im thinking of getting a 660 rear hub from yam and then lacing my rim onto it

thanks

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive.
