Here's another mod I did,which I didn't see here when searching.I like doing not too obvious changes....I like tubeless more than tube tyres,so worked out a simple way to put the later wheels in the earlier models.It also gives you the chance to put the 2.5 instead of the 2.15 rear wheel in the bike.All you need to do is cut down the caliper holder from the later bike by 5mm.A friend of mine did this at his workplace on a milling machine.Was a while ago,should work on the 750 /650 models too. The torque arm from the MKII worked,the brake caliper sits a little further back than on the J.I also needed a longer brake line.
