I was really excited to try the 90/90 V 18 from the front of my R100 (was a RT) Cafe on the K100RT.
However the wheel did not Plug N Play as I had expected.
The issue being the calipers on the K are hard pressed against the rotors on the right side (as sitting on bike)
I appears to be only a matter of a fraction of a mm difference in the spacers used on the two bikes axles.
I really do not want to alter/modify any parts.
So I put the wheels back on their respective bikes.
My question is, should these wheels have been able to be swapped without any mods?
I want to eventually get some spare wheels, possibly for wider tires, perhaps for radial tires.
TIA for any & all replies,
Troy
