yea my bad i was looking at subframes on ebay and so it was stuck on my mind. but any way im planning on building a bike out of random buell parts and i just got a x1 frame and wanted to use a xb front end (forks, fairing, brakes, and wheel) and was wondering if the rear wheel would fit also so i would have matching wheels.

it sure would be nice, if someone who has completed such a swap would give details on the spacers... or better yet, someone with a lathe would make some and sell them...how about a write up like the X-1 files did with the S-3 fairing mod...anybody?
