| Post subject: | KH400 front wheel on a H1E |
I put a KH400 front wheel on my H1E just to see how close a fit it might be, to my surprise it's a direct bolt on minus the rotor being too small, seems easy enough to drill an H1 rotor holes to the KH wheel  . I still need to accurately measure the axle to see if the KH versus H1 axles are the same size visually they look the same .Anyone up on putting a KH400 front wheel on a H1E? |

Keep us posted! I had the understanding that a swap wouldn't work. |

The KH500 rotor (& some KZ's) have a 4 hole large disc... not sure if the ID is the same as KH400. I thought the axle was not compatible. |

The spacing between the fork tubes is greater on the H1 so wouldn't the axle have to be longer? Check location of the axle as far as left-right positioning. Does it have some clearance/room to move L/R?As far as brakes, a custom adapter will place the EX caliper wherever it needs to be to align to the S3 rotor without any other trickery... My thought was that maybe a KH400 wheel may fit to KH500 forks (both designs changed compared to previous S/H series, but are they the same diameter?) but the length was still my stumbling block... |

KH400 axle measures 24mm [url][URL=http://s115.photobucket.com/user/uncle_sam134/media/IMG_20161201_183829.jpg.html]  [/url] [/url]H1E axle measures 24mm [url][URL=http://s115.photobucket.com/user/uncle_sam134/media/IMG_20161201_183909.jpg.html]  [/url] [/url]H1E axle ends measure 30mm [url][URL=http://s115.photobucket.com/user/uncle_sam134/media/IMG_20161201_184749.jpg.html]  [/url] [/url]KH400 axle ends measure 30mm [url][URL=http://s115.photobucket.com/user/uncle_sam134/media/IMG_20161201_184706.jpg.html]  [/url] [/url]KH400 wheel with KH400 spacer mounts in H1 frontend  , only issue I see so far is the rotor , the caliper will not reach the smaller KH rotor, I going to see if the H1 rotor can be drilled to mount on the KH hub [url][URL=http://s115.photobucket.com/user/uncle_sam134/media/IMG_20161201_190012.jpg.html]  [/url] [/url][url][URL=http://s115.photobucket.com/user/uncle_sam134/media/IMG_20161201_190131.jpg.html]  [/url] [/url]

I was under the impression all triples had the same sized stem hole or neck for triple tree etc.. So why wouldn't a complete KH400 or S3 front end work? Swap the clamps and forks etc all at once, no disc size issues either. |

Axle position seems correct , wheel is centered in the forks and did not pull the legs in , all looks good so far . |
