As I can't be arsed searching the forum, can anyone confirm my vague memory that only a front wheel from a carb Bird will fit the carb Bird.......wheel from FI no good.

Or was it the rear that was not interchangable?

Any help appreciated.:-0)

The rear wheels will fit both Carb and Fi.

The front wheels have different spacings, the spacers/bearings are set differently, and the discs end up couple of three mill out ( too much to not bother with).

You can change the front wheels between carb and inj bikes if you change the whole lot ( wheel, discs, spacers, bearings etc )

The front hub is bigger on the injection bikes for the bigger bearings and that needed a different disc fitting and spacers.
