new to the forum. incredibly impressed with all the knowledge and discussion.I am not much of mechanic but i make an effort to know what to do and the right way to get it done. just purchased a 97 M2 but i need a new rear rim. just curious if i am limited to the year/model for the rear rim or if there is any other compatibility within the model/brand? just trying to give myself the best chances of finding a replacement. thanks in advance |

Any wheel from a tube frame model will work. The PM wheels are about a half inch wider than the cast ones, if that matters to you. You'll probably want to match the front. |

I am working on swaping xb wheels onto 2000 m2. if I can figure out what pulley to use then I will have a spare 3 spoke rear rim. |

Joe If you want to keep stock gearing on your Xb swap you will need this custom gear http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/21/ 764258.html?1433785165 The other option is welding up the old holes and remilling the XB pattern but the stock pulleys are junk metal and I would not risk it. Liam Any tuber wheel will work if you choise to go with a PM wheel they do have their own spacer. And no matter which wheel use new bearings! |
