Seeking any with knowledge / previous experience etc. I am looking at possibly replacing the wheels on my 2021 R1250R. Have seen Option 719 wheels on offer from a 2019 1250RT. Having checked with my local dealer, look at online parts fiche it seems that the rear wheels are the same but the fronts have different part numbers. Trying to find out if the front from a 2019 RT will fit an 1250R. Front discs for both bikes are the same so there should be no issue with disc bolt spacings but The part numbers for the axle, inner spacer and outer spacer are different. So do I assume the RT wheel is either wider or narrower due to different forks and, more to the point, could an RT wheel be “made” to fit my R?
TIA.
 
Bearing in mind my r1150gs has a 2006 r1200gs front alloy wheel fitted ( which included adapting a speedo drive to fit ) and my 1982 katana has a 1989 gsxr 1100 k forks fitted with an 18" gsxr1100j front wheel anythng is posible
