Zup errbody?

So like, it sucks that nobody makes 15" radials. But I'm wondering if any Yamaha shaft-drive wheels would interchange with the Vmax? Found that the XS Eleven came with a 17" rear/19" front, and the Special had a 16" rear. And I kinda like the seven-spoke ones... sorta Harley-esque.

So, would they fit?
 
Think you'll run into problems with axle diameters....the smaller bikes like Thundercats, Maxims, etc. will probly have a smaller diameter axle....which is why VMax hubs are used in the 17" conversions.
 
I kinda was afraid of that, especially on the smaller ones. I was kinda hopeful ones off an XS11 would do it.
 
Rear diff has the wrong offset on the splided drive. You MIGHT be able to swap the diff and wheel as an assembly but not sure if the bolt pattern on the swingarm mounting flange is the same.
