Yeah they all come with a steep price tag. Was looking for alternatives and also something a little different.

i would imagine most 3.5x17 fronts and 6.00x17.00 rears will fit, its the spacers, and getting them spaced correctly that will be the issue.... oh and spindle size, don't know if these are standard sizes across the board? :smt001

Let us know if you find out - you'll probably be the first to try.

There's not a lot to gain by changing. And I can make the Falco into the bike I want.

They need 2.5mm machining off either side of the front discs mount and a set of discs.

Do gen 2 wheels just need the front machining? The rears slot in no bother?

Yes

There is an alternative to machining the wheels ..... fit the radial-braked front end .......
