Been searching all day and I can't find ALL the info I'm looking for. what are the front AND rear axle diameters for my 2002 X1? what are the front AND rear axle diameters for a 2003+ XB? Thanx in advance! Nick | ||

X1 - 17mm front/25mm rear Can't help with the XB | ||
| Phelan |
This is good info for me as well. Thanks Eboos. | ||

I think I found the XB sizes... Front-0.9843in or 25.00122 mm Rear--1.1811in or 29.99994 mm | ||

Hey Texastechx1, could you please post the exact sizes, not just guesses?  | ||

Is someone contemplating a wheel swap? I want to see pics if/when it happens! | ||
| Texastechx1 |
I have a few things in the works... There is currently a patent getting approved to adapt XB wheels and brakes to X1 forks and swingarm. But don't worry guys, there will be a full write up with pics. P.S. Very funny Eboos! LOL | ||

Why the patent? All that's required is 4 step bushings and 2 brake caliper mounts | ||
| Texastechx1 |
actually only one brake caliper mount... patent is just a little insurance, and I knew some one that knew some one that knows someone that could get it done for cheap. Why not right? | ||

Depending on a friend of a friend of a friend would be better. There are many Tubers running around with XB wheels,its nothing new and not rocket science to do the conversion. No gain by doing it other than looks.........................and being able to say your wheels are made in China. | ||

Buell rear axles are 15/16 Sportster axles are "1. Don't know about the front. (Message edited by jstfrfun on January 18, 2009) | ||

I just do it to most of my big projects. I have a handlebar set that I made that I got a patent on also, and an air cleaner kit, etc. etc. etc. its just something I can get done for cheaper than usual. so quit knocking it please  | ||

I don't know about the rest but sportster rear axles are indeed 1" and M2's are 25mm. I know because I had to trim down a 1" axle to fit into a Buell rim. (At least a 2000-2001 M2) Just mic the bearings. (Message edited by Buell_Bert on January 18, 2009) (Message edited by Buell_Bert on January 18, 2009) | ||

The Xb wheels are lighter? if the XB suspenders are added I bet that the ride / handling is much better, not to mention issues with the shock go away. Tuber wheels have got to be getting scarce, JRramsey, I have a lathe project if you are interested, I want to do some new wheel spacers that protect the bearings and seals better out of steel, rather than aluminum | ||

Oldog Always interested in helping other riders out with their projects. Send me a PM. I'm on dialup so it takes several hours+ to receive PMs or emails. | ||

OK I need a couple of days to get my stuff sorted out, I will drop you a note later this week, 2nd set of bearings in this bikes life, not good. What Versions of autocadd can you use? (Message edited by oldog on January 18, 2009) |
