I have a 2024 six days one and wondered has anyone done this and if so, what is needed. Is it just a case of wheels, spacers, tyres and obviously different sprockets?

I had a 525EXC in Supermoto trim way back. I’m pretty sure that was about the extent of the changes.
There was a different front mudguard too.
The side stand wasn’t on it as the scrutineers probably would have wanted it come race time.
You may have to shorten the stand with the smaller 17” wheels.

It’ll be a hoot to ride that’s for sure. Let us know what you do and post photos if you do the conversion.
 
If it’s similar in set up to a 701 then Andres did it to his a few years back - there’s a long thread somewhere. I’ve got the bike now, certainly adds another dimension to it

Adding another dimension to it is exactly what I'm after. I wouldn't have to worry about the side stand as I've got the Swiftkicker on it. That 701 looks great! Keep em coming guys.
 
On the EXC-f there isn’t the abs ring issue.
17”(or 16.5” racing wheels which was the original French invention setup) with spacers and smaller rear sprocket,
That’s it.
Many put a larger front disc and adapter bracket on it as road speeds are higher but that makes it a little more awkward swapping back to enduro unless you then run a larger disc on those wheels as well but that doesn’t hold up as well Offroad.
Never bothered with a different mudguard on the CRF450R I did,
 
Found one of his old threads
