Thumbs up XTR Modified to take XTX Wheels.

After ALOT of forum trawling and hard searching i found i was getting a bit confused with how i could fit the 2 XT660X wheels to an XT660R bike. I made a few phone calls and got a few different answers to which i found pretty strange but thought "sod it" im going to buy these XTX wheels and give it a go.
During the fitting i took some pictures to try and help out others that want to do the same modification.
Here is how i did it ( Photos are in no particular order ) - - - -

My Bike - 54 plate XT660R.
Wheels purchased - 2008 XT660X.

Photos are a bit rough so if you have any questions about this modification feel free to contact me.


UPDATE

After the modification you will have to take it easy when riding.I noticed the discs and caliper were getting a bit hot. Im pretty sure this is down to the pads bedding in. Ive done about 20 carefull miles and they seem to have stopped getting hot but please be very very carefull on your first ride....As someone stated on here before "You dont want to do a stoppie at 70mph as you wont survive it"
