Can carby wheels be made to fit injection with spacers?
 
So, had my first run out Oulton today. Went to change the front wheel for a wet and it turns out it's a K2 and the bikes a k5 :smt018

So can that front wheel fit ok if I have some appropriately sized spacers?


The weather dried out in the end and I got to do a few sessions and fecking hell, I love the thing! :D

Hi mate, you can indeed. If you have the appropriate spacers. I used a carby wheel in my inj bike. There are a few company's that make them already. I am fortunate enough to have access to a machine shop, so I made my own. I can pm you some measurements if you like?

There's a chance I have some already to be honest. The bloke I bought the bike off had only ridden it once and that was dry, but he gave me a small bag with some shims and what looks like a couple of spacers. I just wanted to check the discs lined up and everything, but it sounds all good.

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated.

The front wheel uses a different size axel on the pointy. To my knowledge

7mm spacer between speedo drive and fork leg, use carby discs ;-)
