converting an X to an R

Did anyone ever try out this rotor and if so did it make it so that you can use the r wheels on the x without having to switch out the front brake caliper mount?

I fitted the rotor to my spare wheel - no problems, and I have offered it to the forks.

I am certain it will fit ok - but I haven't actually fitted it as I haven't got around to putting a tire on the wheel yet.

I will update this when i do.

I believe the front wheel from the Euro XT 660 R is the same or very similar to the WR. It might just bolt on if you can find one. The hub seems to have the same part number and the front disc is 298mm.

Not much chance of finding on of those here in Canada so I put on an aftermarket from wheel for a KTM 640 ADV. This is an easy fit and I was able to keep the stock WRX brake. More info in my post about it.
