hondaxr600rearwheel Honda XR600R, XR650L Rear Wheel Swap

[DirtZeus]

Ok folks,

I've read forum after forum asking this same type of question without any definite answers.

I'll try to phrase the question specific to my case. 

I have a 1995 Honda XR600. I need a new rear wheel (p/n 42650-MAG-305).

In the forum's I've read that the Honda XR650L rear wheel isn't interchangeable due to the
size of the axle, which in turn would point to bearings, collar and possibly other parts.

The forum's have also stated detailed information such as the diameter of the axle, ID and OD of the bearings,
the different size of the brake caliper. This information supposedly came from microfiche.

I've seen references that the XR650L rear wheels (p/n 42650-MY6-326) are interchangealbe from years 93 - 07. 
These wheels are abundant on eBay. The XR600R wheels are non existent except 1980's models. 

Finally my questions.

Where can I find definite information regarding the sizes of the various parts for the wheel assemblies ?

If the sizes of the inner workings are different, could I canabalize the inner workings from my
600R and fit them to a 650L ? 

This would also be dependent on the brake caliper dimensions, OD diameters of bearings, and possibly bolt hole
patterns of the sprockets and caliper.

Thank you in advance for your knowledge and information on this subject.

Just go find a bearing shop and buy a correct size or get it made. The OD you need, and the ID you need. It wont be OEM but it'll work.
They're all the same as long as there's disk brakes. Get an L wheel.
