    Front wheel question.

    I've always assumed that all XS series cast front wheels were identical.
    Posts on an XS650 site say no, the XS11 front wheel is a ruggedized version of the XS650 front wheel.
    Photos on that site show what is claimed to be an XS11 front wheel which has a cylindrical hub with 6 trapezoidal pockets between
    the brake disc bolt holes and other photos show an XS650 front wheel which has a 6 lobed daisy-petal shaped hub with a brake disc bolt hole
    in the middle of each petal.
    Looks exactly like the daisy-petal hub front wheel on my XS11.
    Did Dr. Frankenstein get to my XS11 before I did?
