Agreed, thanks Phatpat…..This KTM/Beta dirtbag will be checking out what you found out.

I have swapped my KTM wheels with my 2013 Beta all last race season. Couple things: need to mill off a slight bit from KTM spacers (rear), use Beta disk and bolts on brake (rear).

Anything special to bolt on the front rim. thanks

Did the front wheel fit without any issues?

Resurrecting this thread; do we have certain KTM models that would be potential donor wheels? I am not familiar with KTM as far as axle size or that type of thing, want to start looking for a extra set of wheels.

This is great. I have a brand new set of DID Dirt Star wheels sitting on my shelf off my 2014 Husaberg. Would be awesome to get them fitting on my Beta! They are blue too, which would look super trick on '15 Race!

I only shaved off about 2 mm of the right rear spacer, the left one didn't need touching. Both sprocket and disc aligned well.

Just change the spacers to Beta front wheel spacers.

What did you you for the razor - grinder or lathe?

I used a grinder as I don't have a lathe, but I'd recommend using a lathe to be completely sure it's even all around. I used callipers to be sure it was even length all around.
