I made the swap and everything changed over. I had to take the pulley and cush drive from the old rear wheel as well as the rotor. The front wheel was ready to go. All I had to do was mount it on the bike. The dealer was the last place to have the wheels off. I found the right spacer on the front wheel in backwards. I don't know what difference it makes but there are some grooves in it to indicate the position. Anyway its much better on the freeway now the front end doesn't feel light and its as smooth as silk. Lovin it!

Not to hijack but I the grooves in the spacers are supposed to be outboard according to the manual. I take this to mean next to the fork leg not the bearing, correct me if wrong. Personnaly I don't see the difference but there must be a reason

You are correct and I didnt see a physical difference. Like I was saying the dealer put it in the other way
