Regarding the 900 wheels, that bike may have a 900 swinging arm in as well to take the wider wheel.
Would that need changing back aswell?

Pretty sure they are the same, I had a 900 ally one fitted to my 583 last year and am looking for another for 2007.

swinging arm, axle, brake, cush drive are all the same - no probs with eligibility there
