Are wheels interchangable between Buell Models? I fancy getting a spare set and fitting them with wets.

Any wheel from the XB range will fit - except for Uly wheels - they may be different.

Have a look here

You will need to fit the relevant wheel spacers though - as the XB and 1125 ranges are different

Hmm, so I wonder why the Buell website says that the wheels won't fit a Uly ??? :?


... or is it something really stupid like the wrong colour ...

Uly wheels are heavier and stronger than standard XB wheels...so ok to fit uly to Xb but not the other way round ;)

Not sure but can remember that being stated in the spec when they first came out............stronger wheels to cope with any rough terrain............still the same bearings though :D
