Wheels 2 Years, 6 Months ago  
I have a 2001 Roadstar with spoked wheels and would like to put on the stock mag wheels that come stock on the newer 1700cc Roadstars. Is this possible? And if this is possible, where can I find a set of take offs? Thanks, Eric

Dishington Yes it is possable you will need the spacers for the rear wheel off a 1700 so you may have to buy those and you will have to use your 1600 pully. The front is a direct swap with out any changes. Best place to find them is on here, or Delphi RoadStar Riders forum, e-bay has them from time to time as well. I sold mine on here years ago when I bought my after markets off e-bay.

Yeah what Utra said except some will say you need to change the pulley I didn't. Bearings and spacers are the only change you should need.

like Makcap you don't have to change your pulley and if you do you have to buy a new belt as well
