CRF450 wheels on FE501

Chortsen · Jun 2, 2009

Hi

New to the forum. I recently bought a Husaberg FE501e Ã‚Â´03 and want to build it to supermoto specifikations.
I got a set of 17" CRF450 wheels offered for a good price. Is it possible to fit these wheels to my Husaberg?
I have a lathe, so I can manufacture a new set of spacers and perhaps find a set of bearings with the same diameter as the axles. But I'm unsure of how the sproket and the brakedisc will line up. Anyone know how they will fit?

Hi Chortsen, take a look at this topic by Cypher.

Thanks for the link.
I took the chance and bought the wheels. 17x3.5 black Rexfelgen front with 320mm Galfer wawe disc and 120/60 Contiforce tire, 17x5.0 black Rexfelgen rear with 240mm Galfer wave disc and 160/60 Contiforce tire.
Got them really cheap and just test fitted them, looking nice

It has 20mm frontaxle, so I need to make some new spacers, a bracket for the caliber and som forkleg inserts. Wanted to change the bearings, but they don't make bearings with that outer diameter and 26mm inner diameter. Thought I could machine them rims on a lathe so I could fit bigger bearings that have 26mm inner diameter, but there is not enought room. So I will try to make som forkleg inserts.
The rearaxle is 25mm and my Husaberg has 20mm rearaxle. But luckily for me the bearings are the same, so if I use the spacers and axle from the Husaberg it fits. Just need to machine some new spacers so the wheel will be centered. But the brakedisc is bigger and the one for the Husaberg don't fit. So I also have to machine a bracket for the rear caliber or buy a smaller disc thta will fit.
So looks like I have some work ahead of me, but for the price of the rims I'm glad I took the chance
