most wheels and disks can be made to fit (within reason) with slight modification

Right, from memory.......the front wheels from the gen 2 (06/07) are the same as the gen 3 as they use the 25mm spindle.

The front from a gen 1 (04/05) uses the 20mm spindle however can be fitted to a gen 2/3 with a shim/collar made

Heres a copy/paste from a previous thread of mine. Hope this helps



The 05 bike uses a 20mm axle and the 06 has a 25mm axle so all you need to do is use the 05 axle and have a sleeve made to go through one side of the fork leg.

Right then, before we start...

Left and right as you sit on bike, OD = outer diameter, ID inner diameter

All rears 04 -09 interchangeable (colours vary), all using 20mm spindle. 06 has different caliper carrier though.

04/05 front: 20mm spindle. 04/05 forks - left side 25mm hole with captive nut, right side 20mm hole for spindle to go through.

06/07 front: 25mm spindle. 06/07 forks - both sides 25mm holes - uses 25mm axle all the way through with a nut on the outside left.

Both spindles go in right to left. The key to making this work is the fact that both fork left side holes are 25mm.

So using this information, to put an 04/05 wheel into 06/07 forks we need an 04/05 spindle because a 25mm 06 spindle will not go into a 20mm 04 wheel axle hole.

The left side 04 captive nut goes straight in 06 left fork bottom (both 25mm), so the only problem is the right side as we have a 20mm 04 spindle in a 25mm 06 fork hole.

Go to a local machine shop and have a shim/bush made up as attached picture, this will take up the slack around the axle on the right side. The split is important (can be cut with a hacksaw after turning) and you should align it with the bottom of the forks as this will allow the pinch bolts to grip/clamp the shim onto the axle. Specs - OD 25mm, ID 20mm, Length - 39mm.

SO TO PUT AN 04/05 WHEEL INTO 06/07 FORKS YOU WILL NEED AN 04/05 SPINDLE PLUS THE SHIM.

Heres a link for the nearest size tube i could find.......it needs 1mm cutting off the end and a 1 or 2 mm width cut along the length to make it work which was easy to do
