Hello all,

I have a friend with a 2006 crf450R who is looking to sell his talon/excel wheels and hubs. I'd like to put them on my 2008 CRF450X, can someone tell me if they would fit?

thanks

I believe they will but it would be a 19" rear instead of a 18" rear. (Mx bikes run 19" rear wheels and the X uses a 18" rear wheel)

You need to ditch the odometer housing and run the R front axle and spacers.

Like riddler9 said , rear will bolt right on (but it will be a 19" rim not 18") , front will not accept the speedo drive and you will need the R axle and spacers
