Crossbones Front Wheel on NT
Anyone know if a CB front wheel will fit directly onto a NT? Can't find an answer anywhere. I know the stock fender wouldn't fit, but am curious about spacing, brakes, etc.
I did it with a 09 CB front and rear wheel on my 08 NT. The rear is no problem direct replacement. The front end a little work. First I had to switch the Bearings since the 09 is a 25mm and the 08 is 3/4in. After that there was a slight miss alignment issue. I had two solutions; 1. get a new set of spacers cut, or 2. reverse the existing spacers and move the front wheel 3/8 to the right. I did option two and had to make two 3/8 shims for the caliper. Every thing runs fine. I think I will get the new spacers cut anyhow. I find the bike is a little left heavy. The wheel was shifted over to the left to compensate for the heavy primary hanging off the left side of the engine.
