28 knucles

I have a 2007 rk with 16 inch wire spokes and www s I was wondering if I could run a set of 28 knuckles off of a 2009 rk will the wider 17s fit on my bike with out changing the swing arm and changing my front fender and the front axel bearings

Another member has cut off the rear sub-frame and welded on an 09-later sub-frame. If you have the skills and equipment it can be done, but it is not for mere mortals!
