Front end swap
#11
The small end of the 1" axle is less than 3/4"....I have researched this as several people on here have already done it and also have measured both the 1" and 3/4" axle and it should work just fine. Just needs to be turned down from the shoulder of the big end out to the taper on the small end.

Mechanical Speedometer, NO. This is the reason I am keeping my wheel and having the 1" axle turned down. Easiest way that I can come up with to keep the speedometer working. If you really want to swap wheels you could have a 1" axle turned to 3/4 and from what i have read use 3/4 bearings in the newer wheel.

I did this except I used my original 97 wheel.
I was going to have the 1" axle turned down as someone here mentioned.
My machinist didn't want to, and talked me out of that.
Instead we made split bushings, and they work fine.
You can see what I mean in the link below.

The 4 piston brakes are well worth the upgrade imo, and not a difficult job either.

You'll need new callipers and matching disk rotors. The old disks won't fit on the new wheel, or the new callipers. You can keep your old fork legs though.
Yours is a Classic, hence the speedo drive? Are you going to alloy or sticking with wire wheels? I don't know these. It looks like it acts as a spacer too, yes?
