Weel hubs and brake rotors for 2011 FS 570

I want to buy a new set of wheels for my Husaberg FS 570 2011, of a different trim, but would like to keep the originals.

I've heard that the hubs (both front and rear) are pretty much the same for all Husabergs and even some KTMs, but since I'll probably import them (I live in Brazil), wanna be extra sure that they'll fit.

Same for the brake rotors (front and back), since I don't want to change the original callipers (that looks like an impossible task anyway).

I've been browsing http://www.motostrano.com/ but Husabergs are not particularly popular. Does anyone have any tips on finding those hubs and rotors, specially the 320mm front rotors, that will surely fit my Husa? Any tips on compatibility with KTM, other Husas that could make my search easier?

OEM, aftermarket (moto-master, warp9) everything goes.

Thanks!

Any modern KTM wheels from a 125-530cc will work. Are you looking for dirt wheels, or street (17" same size as your stock FS)? If looking for street wheels, Motostrano is likely your best bet.

If dirt, look locally, or try ktmtalk.com classifieds.

For 320 rotors (does stock come with a 310mm?), there are lots on ebay for KTM.

Thank-you Rensho. Will look at the links and report back.

I'm afraid to say I wanna do some little, mild dirt-tracking with the FS :mrgreen: So I'm looking for 21" and 18" trims to use off-road wheels. I'm considering buying another compatible 310mm front-rotor to go with that, even though I know the risks of going into the dirt with such a big rotor (a controlled risk, I won't be doing anything radically off-road).

Same goes for the rear rotor - want to have a 'quick swap' option for the few weekends where I wanna use the bike in the woods.

So if I buy KTM wheels and another pair of rotors I could in theory use them on my FS? Should I be worried about the rods fit or cush drive hub?

Thanks again!

Since he has a FS, it comes with a radial mount to a very nice 4 piston radial caliper. This forces him to use a rotor of 310 to 320mm or larger. Again, if for street and SM use, you're likely just looking for a second SM wheel set and a 310-320 rotor. Then just bolt on and go.
If for dirt, some still use a stock size rotor and they deal with having a lot of braking power on the front, which will take careful modulation. Some worry about the big rotor getting bent/damaged on rocks and such. Also, some report that the radial caliper will hit the spokes on a 21" wheel. You may need to shave the back of the caliper to clear spokes.

That could be a real showstopper for me... I guess there's no way of trying to use spacers to clear the caliper? Or using a smaller hub?

Does anyone have any additional insight into doing this conversion?

Thanks!
