They have different axle sizes. 08 is 25mm. I don't know what yours is but most likely 3/.4"

There was another thread on this, but can't remember the particulars. Try a search but I think that the bearing OD's were stated to be same size, early and late, but not sure.

The problem is not only the bearings(different size) but also the offset for brake disc and rear drive pulley and brake. Things do not line-up. There are a few post were individuals have changed the front leg sliders and caliper to newer model to get the front newer wheel to work. The rear newer wheel was resolved in a similar way but it was a bagger and the tuning fork rear was changed in a similar way and some spacers used for pulley. Does not seem worth the hassle unless you are looking to upgrade performance while changing several parts...
