Hi Murray,

I haven't been on the site for some time and saw your post. I just wanted to give some advice.
When I re-built my FS650 I used the original hubs and strapped them (initially) to some EXCEL Takasago rims. The large front caliper on the motard didn't clear the LHS spokes as the rims where not the crossed drilled pattern. I have seen lots of wheel sets for sale since and most would not be suitable for the motard because they run a normal spoke pattern.
I ended up selling the brand new rims for nearly what I paid for them (luckily) and purchased original BEHR rims to strap to the original Husaberg hubs.
So if your thinking of building your own wheel set and you are running a larger front disc with motard caliper please investigate the spoke pattern of the FS 570 before buying rims.
Hope that is some sort of help.

Cheers
