Title: 2000 900ss wheels...Will they fit? Post by: Dannyboy0402 on June 19, 2009, 01:55:15 PM So ive been looking for a better wheel set-up than the stock 3 spokes that came on my 95 900, I like the 5 spokes that come on the 2000 900ss/ie. I know the 900 monster is close to the 900ss/ie so I was wondering if anybody knows if the axles and fitments are the same?

00 - 01 Monsters had 17mm-rear/25mm-front, and I'm pretty sure the 900ss models made the same switch. Mind you, wheel makers do all sorts of hubs/spacers so no reason you shouldn't be able to get hubs that fit regardless. Title: Re: 2000 900ss wheels...Will they fit?

Someone posted a pretty extensive list on one of the wheel/axle/fork mod threads. IIRC, your info is correct but the switch may have happened in a different year for the SS. Dannyboy, do a search for "25mm axle" or "wheel swap" and a few other key phrases. There's tons of thread about the subject. The gist of it is your older monster has a 20mm front axle and AFAIK, all the five-spoke wheels have 25mm ones. Check out my "Teaser, Scrambler almost finished thread" (you can find all my posts by clicking on my user name) I wrote pretty extensively about putting some 25mm axled wire wheels on my '99, but there are differences between those wheels and the 5-spoke wheels so all the info won't apply. |
