aftermarket wheels fitment?

[nambo-trev]

hi all i just wanted to know if there are any other brand bikes out there that wheels fit a 2010 ec300? i have available to me a new set of ktm300 wheels and a new set of klx450 wheels, both are 18" rears but im just wondering about hub match up(axel size) i know ill need to get proper spacers. any ideas would help, i just want a seperate set for my trelleborgs and these 2 sets are available from buddies for super cheap!

I know the rear sprocket is the same as Husky and DRZ400's.

 

[stainlesscycle]

to the best of my knowledge, rear sprocket is not the same as drz400..
it is the same sprocket as husqvarna but a different axle size i believe..
beta/sherco may have same hubs.... i believe they are ajp..

 

[nambo-trev]

ok so if neither of these hubs will fit, does any one know were i can buy new hubs and spacers?

Might try e-mailing Go Fasters about wheels. Awhile ago they were working on getting some aftermarket wheels/hubs made for the GG bikes. Not sure what became of it but worth a shot. Watch for guys parting out bikes (I think there is a guy in VT right now with wheels available) or the big $$$ route is Talon but not sure even they make wheels for GG.

If anyone has a set of hubs lying around I would consider purchasing them and just having one of these sets I have to choose from relaced. The klx450 wheels I am offered are 500 bucks Canadian and have 3 rides on them and a brand new set of trelleborgs so you can understand why I'm trying to make things work!! I will email go fasters though

bowtech matched some wheels from a KTM, you should pm him. He is in Calgary.

 

[nambo-trev]

hey claude, is he on this forum? ill check it out because i have a set i can get on saturday but i have to buy them first thing or theyll be gone

My friends' 01 300 gasser has a bultaco rim mated to a kawasaki hub on the rear.

 

[nambo-trev]

hey gasser, i actually just emailed you from an old post to bowtech about this kawi wheel. i have a brand new stock set of kawi rims available did he use the stock kawi hub with gasser spacers?

 

[Keg]

Talon do hubs for a GasGas....so I am told.

 

[nambo-trev]

im sure talon does hubs but im also sure there 300+ for each hub! little much for me as these are only being purchased for my winter wheels, both sets i have the option to buy also already have trelleborgs mounted already this is why i want to see how these guys made a kx wheel and ktm wheels work? maybe its more work than its worth but maybe its not so bad

The last time I measured a rear axle was 20mm. Anyone got a measurement on the KLX? What about overall width and sprocket to rotor centerlines?

 

[moto9]

Good luck finding any wheels...but if you do let us know

 

[ScottyR]

I am looking for some replacement rims for an EC300. Does anyone know if another brand crosses over with a late model Gasser?

Actually I'd be happy with the shoulderless DID dirt stars from a few years back, good strong rock wheels. I did a number on my rear rim a few weeks ago, straightened it pretty good but I'd like to replace it.

 

[nambo-trev]

im still looking and chatting with people from all over to find who might know about crossover parts. i pm'd the people on this site that have supposedly done it and didnt get a response back but when i find something ill post it

 

[wence]

I too would be interested as both my rims are more square than round.
Cheers Mark

I've been meaning to work out the Kawasaki wheel on a Gas Gas for a long time so I will do work on it and have the answer by Sunday. I have multiple sets of KX rear wheels which I believe are interchangable with KDX/KLX (older) wheels. I don't believe the Suzuki/Kawasaki DRZ/KLX wheels are the same as the KX wheels so I cannot compare to those at this time. I will measure everything from axle diameter to hub width and check alignment of brake rotor and sprocket. If it's a matter of axle diameter, I will research the correct bearing to make it work. The only thing I'm really worried about are spacers so I have a local machinist lined up to fix that and I will have extras made. Of course, they would not be done by Sunday! Also, just for fun, I will weigh both and report what I find back to this thread! By the way: KX and KDX wheels are regularly available for very little money on Craig's List and other "E"vil sites! I bought a front and rear set locally with new bearings for $20.00 last year!

thanks for doing that eric i have a set available to me that a buddy has in his attic so if it happens to work out well this could be very good for all of us, ill have to grab spacers off you though!
