    After a long time on KTM's I have sold my 300 and found a very nice TE450 efi. I have a bunch of KTM parts, including a set of wheels for the newer bikes. here is my question, can these be made to fit the 08 Husky? If not where can I find a good source for Husky aftermarket wheels?

    Anything else i should know? It has the updated mapping on it, Arrow exhaust. needs new plastic, already have a Rekluse pro coming for it...who is the best source for plastic for these? I am looking to put the 2010 plastic on with the LED tailight assy. Thanks in advance

    If the KTM wheels are for a bike ('03+ I think?) with the larger 26mm axles, Then I would think you could get some spacers made to make it work. If Im not mistaken most if not all the newer huskys have 25mm axles.

    To get the sprocket/rotor aligned right you may have to do some machining to the rotor/sprocket itself, the hub, or it may just a matter of using some washers or custom spacers. if anything needs a spacer, stack some washers to get a closer idea of what measurement you're looking for.

    Best thing would be to put a KTM wheel on the respective husky axle without the spacers and first check to see how close the location of the brake rotors are to the calipers and the sprocket to the plain that the chain runs on. That should give you a baseline to work from. Hope that helps!

    J.R. good advice.. I would first start by measuring the center line across the top of the Disc and the sprocket on the rear wheel of both bikes..... The sprocket would be the first thing to get spaced in line and then see if the caliper will move over..

    Good Luck

    Maybe simpler to Flea Bay the KTM wheels and buy specific Husky wheels.

    Its worth a shot since he's got them in front of him. If its a matter of making spacers and maybe moving a rotor, I'd say its worth it. But if you outsource all the fab/machine work it may not be worth it to you

    I will see how close they are, in case it proves to be too far apart from each other, who makes Husky wheelsets? Warp 9 is about 3 months out from having wheels. Would like to get some bought this week bewfore the enduro in Wyoming.

    I remember reading somewhere that Woodys Wheelworks were modifying KTM wheels to fit Huskys, but that was to get a cush hub for the TE 610. Might give him a call and talk to him.
