GL 1000 front wheel fitment
« on: March 27, 2021, 03:42:42 PM »
Does the dual disc gl 1000 mount up to the 550 front end? Seems like a an easy option for the dual disc setup.

Same wheel , different rotors , wider offset.. . Wheel is same , but rotors likely wont fit between any 750 of smaller triple trees.
 The whole front  end swap  is worth doing..

Well that's good info I guess then. Thought it'd be a close swap
