2001 xjr 1300 rear wheel on thunderace, yea or nay.

My rear wheel has croaked it due to my ineptitude at drilling out broken disc bolts, it was polished and shiney, anyway I've found an xjr 1300 already polished and same inner colour, im aware the spindle size was upped to 27mm on both and that they are compatible but will the sprocket carrier and disc fit and any spacers that need changing.

Sorry don't know about fitment

What about helicoil or have old bolt spark eroded in original wheel

Think they are way past helicoil, they seem to be fused in and iI'm guessing for the price of helicoil it's probably easier/cheaper to buy a different wheel.

See if you can find out if the Ace and XJ part numbers match.

alas the part numbers dont match for wheel, bearings or hubs, im thinking though as long as the inner shaft fits my 27mm spindle the sprocket carrier on mine should go straight on the xjrs, i can always replace bearings. I have read somewhere that they are compatible but didnt go into details.

Have to make sure that the sprockets line up too

After doing another search with the correct xjr year entered (2002) drrr....the shaft, bearings, spindle and sprocket carrier are all the same, the rear disc is different so I'm guessing the diameter isnt the same but the wheel I've sourced hasn't got a disc on anyway. The xjr wheel is subtly different aestheticly but not by much. Reckon it could be a winner.

And the spacers are identical except for one that goes into the sprocket carrier that isn't available for the ace any longer, can't see that making much of a huge difference as I'll be mounting all the aces gubbins anyway.

Sweet! Sounds like a good result!

alas it wasnt to be, the central hub on the xjr is 10mm narrower than the ace, 186mm as opposed to 196mm, i could have used some spacers i suppose but i opted for a straight like for like wheel i found from t' th'ebay. Now over to the how to polish your rims section.....it will keep me quiet for a while i guess.
