So I ordered a used front wheel off ebay about a week ago and it came in today. It was supposedly off a GL500 (same bike as mine), except its' set up for a single disk rather than dual like my bike has. I was wondering if there is a way I can make this work with my bike. I havent fit it up to the bike yet since I just got it, but was wondering if its just a matter of swapping out the hub bolts (that hold the disks on) for the ones in the dual disk wheel or are they totally different?
Obviously it's my fault here, I didnt ask the seller questions before buying it, but in all fairness it was $5.00 (with $42.00 shipping, but still for less than $50 I got a wheel, brake disk, and set of original handlebar grips). I bought this with then intention of just bringing it to the shop to get a new tire mounted rather than paying the guy to take my front wheel off. Plus, I'll wind up with a useable spare in case the new tire somehow gets ruined (knock on wood).
If I cant make this work I'll just have to resell it, but I'm hoping I can do something here.
