With no lathe or even metal files, or big lumps of metal for that matter I had hit a dead end till I get myself at least to a tool shop, so to avoid achieving nothing this week I had a play to see if the wheels off the 300 would fit it the gaps on the Mito.
The rear went on easy:
It has the same size tyre as the OE fit 150,60,17 but has a different size hub and cush-drive. Am guessing I’ll have some form of issues with lining up the brake calliper but whatever wheel I fit will prob have that and I can’t afford to buy new wheels if I don’t have to.
The front was more of a struggle, one coz it is a different size: 120,70,17 as opposed to 110,70,17 on the std wheel. It also has a massively different spindle, the disk is on the wrong side on the Mito too as it only has a spring in one fork and damping in the other.
I can see why a bit of extra weight and power causes handling issues. Def need to sort a new front end, Aprilia RS250, or maybe Ducati 916. Will require more mods then as well if I keep the twin disk set up from the donor front end.
So, the project has just got bigger. I was expecting the front end to need replacing but was hoping I could do it as a future mod and I guess I could keep the original wheels on it to start with but seeing how awful the std forks are they gotta go lol 
On a plus side to this it gives more room between fork legs so there will be less chance of the wheel rubbing and getting the brakes to fit.
