Default Easiest front wheel R&I

The front doesn't have any spacers. Only tricky part was keeping my Motion Pro all purpose front axle bit from disappearing into the axle. Magnet helps.

Not sure why, but rear also easier than anything I've recently done. Good job, BMW engineers.

Front end is a direct copy of a pre-2005 GSX-R. In fact, the copy is of such high resolution that a GSX-R front wheel will bolt right in.

I guess you just move the rotors and ABS ring over?

You will need to get some 320mm rotors for the 04 wheels, as the 04's came with 300mm rotors. If you have ABS, you'll need to figure out a mounting scheme for the wheel speed ring.
