17 inch wheels

I'm trying to get a set of 17 inch wheels for my FTR. My dealer here is having trouble getting these from Indian.

I've noticed rims on an r1 or cbr are same sizes. Will those work? Or are the brake discs and axle shafts going to be the problem areas?

The devil is in the details. You need the same axle diameter and distance between the rotors (or sprocket) to begin with. But that’s not all. ABS tone ring, and distance between the bearings can make this conversion complicated for the average Joe…

Also, the FTR 17” front wheel may be straight fit, you still need to work out the tone ring and/or abs sensor.

You can make r1 wheels and similar fit if you have a cnc to make the adapters. But your abs/tc won’t work.

Oem 17in wheels are on back order. And even they require modification to work on the 19s.

bst makes a set that are bolt on.

I know there's someone on the FTR facebook page who put a set of Aprilia 17 inch wheels on their FTR.
they didn't really explain how they got them fitted though.
