Gen I vs early Gen II Wheel

jasonhc73 · Jun 20, 2012

I want to get another wheel for a, so to say, "test". I'm only looking on eBay for now for another set, I really only need a rear wheel, and there apears to only be Gen I wheels on there. My eyes see them and think they'll work. Will they?

A wheel, to me, includes the brake rotor, spacer(if there is one), and bearings.

You need an 'ABS' wheel from a 2004-2007 FJR. Gen I non-ABS and 2008+ wheels are not compatible.

I put VERY special attention in the FJR Comparison Matrix just for this as well as having six wheels between 2 different ABS/non-ABS bikes. A Gen 1 ABS wheel would be compatible with your '07, but wheels are not compatible across the whole line of FJRs due to ABS/non ABS and ABS sensor rings differences in latter years....as well as brake rotor difference in '03 North American models.

Oh, yeah, and being from Kansas you'll probably like the car tire just fine.

I scored well in school at reading between the lines

When you are done with your "test" if you want to resell the wheels you find, let me know. I've been wanting to buy a set (especially the rear) for quite a while. In my case it's because I don't want to run a Car Tire (BTDTGTTS) and every time I'm about to take a 3k mile trip I have about 2k left on my tire.
