Front Spindle change

Message

I'm looking to change my front wheel lug pattern to 4/156. I have a set of wheels that I'm running no matter what. I like them.
I wish I had a rotary table for my mill & just make some. Or larger Lathe . NAH, Too much time anyway.
Yes this is Yamaha pattern I know. Dont beat me up.

Does anyone know of a hub from a Yammy (fley-bay) that will work on our spindles to get what I'm looking for ? Hopefully my wave rotors could bolt up etc ...
Not going to pay for new custom hubs like my rear.
The last thing I want to do is run a adaptor spacer, but could if had to.

Give me some good news here guys !!!

Thanks in advance---Proflow

Got it trimmed down to the Tacate 4 & just about all Polaris.
Still looking.

Tacate-4 is out. Only a 3 bolt rotor.

Polaris Predator 500 still in the game so far.

I remember way back talking to the HardCore parts guys that when they made the Dale hubs it was just a Banshee hub with 1 different bearing.No machining other than bolt pattern.Was a long time ago though.Could be wrong.Dont forget KFX450 spindles fit our balljoint taper also so maybe find a pattern that fits those spindles.On my YFZ I just bought Lonestar hubs to fit honda pattern.Was worth the $300 or less.

Can the wheels just be re-drilled?

No go on the wheel redrill, I wish.
Looks like a Banshee,YFZ or Polaris possibly.
I have a YFZ450 to compair to. It would be nice to keep my wave rotors !

Anyone know if the Dale disc will bolt up o any of these hubs ?
I can TIG & redrill, but if I dont have to all the better !

Thanks---Proflow

I wonder if you could press the shaft off the spindle to use the hubs you want. You could custom make new shafts on the lathe if the ones you want didnt fit.

Thats a piece of this puzzle that may happen as well.
Right now I'm going out to the shop to dig out a Banshee hub to see if my wave rotors will bolt up or
if a mod is needed there too.
On fley-bay there is a YFZ hub set w/spindle/knuckles inc. Then just use the spindle & hub.
I'll keep ya posted what I find out.
