which wheels are fully interchangeable 3 Years, 1 Month ago  
are all the wheels (solid or spoked) from 2005 thru 2008 Roadstar or Roadstar Silverado interchangeable? by this i mean can you take the solid wheels off one and with out modification put them on one of the other years which has spoke wheels and/or the other way around. are the tire sizes the same for the solid wheels and the spoked wheels. i am only asking about Yamaha stock wheels.

THe spokes and cast wheels will fit but I think there might be different spacers required for different years. Other guys will have more info just wait a bit.

If you do a search you will find HD wheels and R! and R6 I think as well as roadstar try wheels or rims it should be close to the top on the search at this site.

IIRC, the newer R*'s used a slightly larger axle on the rear so they require different bearings if you want to use your original axle. Wheels from Harley's can be made to work quite easily with custom axles from Looney's.

The axles are the same but some of the bearings are different.

The easiest way is to do a complete swap, not just the wheels.

If you do a search you'll find the detailed info that you need.
