Axle, spacers, bearings, maybe more or less. I did it on my 06 and it wasn't too bad. I changed the axle out to a newer 25mm one, used the 2011 bearings, and made up some custom spacers. The stock 06 rotors bolt up to the new wheel. I posted a "how to" that you could search for if you needed more info...

You need a 10-12 SG 18" frt wheel with non ABS bearings, or change out the left bearing on an ABS wheel to non ABS bearing, also need 08-12 25mm axle & 2 non ABS spacers, both non ABS spacers are the same. The lower legs are the same from 00-12 so you just need the same wheel, axle, & spacers from a late model bike with the 25mm set-up. Rear wheel will not fit.

Doesn't the op have to use his rotors if he is not changing his brakes to the new style?

Yes. From what I understand, the new rotors are slightly larger in diameter and will not work with the 06 calipers.
