    A bit of help needed

    I picked up an early Tiger 800XC a few weeks ago locally, it needed a bit of TLC but was reflected in the price. It always amazes me how people try to sell dirty bikes, it took a few hours just to clean of tonnes of chain wax(grinding paste) off the back end.

    However, it has spoked tubed wheels but I have a spare rear wheel from my Versys 650 days and am looking at if it will fit to convert to tubeless, but I don't have the 650 sprocket carrier.
    Could one of you loverly people measure the inside distance from brake disc to sprocket please?

    Ta muchly.

    Just an update.
    It looks like the Versys dimension is 5mm more ie wider, so it will not be an easy fit if even possible at all. I'm not surprised as the Tiger takes narrower tyres, 150 on the back, but it was worth a look.
    Thanks again Russ
