I have seen a thread recently where BigT wants to swap his M50 wheels for C50 wheels. I believe the rear wheel is a straight swap, so it is only the front that will give any hassles. Apparently someone has done this previously and there was a spacer that needed to be machined. Having used the online exploded view sites when I bought the alloy wheels for my C50, I went back and had a look to see what was different between the M50, C50 and C50C wheels. I realise the M50 has upsidedown forks and expect that would make a difference in the space between the forks. The internal bearing spacer is different between the alloy wheel and spoked wheel, but is the same for the M50 and C50C wheel. The bearings and left side spacer are common among all three wheels, but the speedo sensor is different between the C50 and M50. The brake disc is different, but I don't know if that is just the styling. The brake caliper has a different part number so I guess that would need to be changed as well.
I put a list of the part nos. on to a table and will try to upload it.

I think the calipers would be different in how they bolt to the fork due to the forks being completely different!

C50's is solid the M50 rotor is a floater, A two piece affair riveted together. I believe it has a slightly different offset from reading posts on C50/M50 front swaps.

Would swapping the caliper and bracket enable an easier swap. Would be handy to get some measurements from an M50 wheel.
