I have just purchased a 78 XS650 special. I would like to use a bigger (18") wheel off of a 78 SR500. They look the same both with rear disk but I'm not sure if it will fit? If anyone knows please help me out?

I think they use a different size axle. Easy enough to measure if you have both wheels already.

- i have 5 here...in europe...was talking to a yammie dealer at our stammtisch last friday night about SR400's from japan, as the 500 has such a cult following here i was asking why they dont import the 400 - he told me that yamaha is talking about re-producing the 500 for the european market...fact or fiction?...no idea
