Wheels question (1150 vs 1100)

[essjay]

Tell me.... are the wheels from an 1150GS with ABS the same as the wheels from an 1100GS with ABS?

So, will the wheels from an 1150GS work fine on an 1100GS and will the ABS work with no issues?

I thought that at some point, maybe the intorduction of the servo ABS, the 1150's ABS ring changed from cast to pressed steel. Up till then the 1100 and 1150's wheels and ABS rings look the same to me. IIRC Thunder was asking about this not too long ago.

The wheels will fit but you need to be careful with the ABS rings. there are two types of ring and they are not interchanegable from one set of wheels to another because the fixing points aren't the same.
