Gen 5 and gen 6 wheels interchangeable?

I found an old post that stated Gen 5 and Gen 6 wheels are the same, but I'd like to check back in to confirm because the part numbers are so different. I have a 2002 gen 6 with brand new Michelin Power 2CT tires and I just purchased a 2001 gen 5 with tired tires. I hope to switch wheels between the motorcycles instead of paying $100 to remount the new tires. Thanks for any input.

 

The rears are for sure and if memory serves me right, the front is swappable too. Oh and I have a tire changer and can swap tires for the price of some IPA, if the latter doesn't pan out.

 

What kinda tyre changer do you own? Breaks the bead too?

 

It's from NoMartirechanger.com. Cycle Hill model. The kit I bought also came with a wheel balancer and is blue. The newer models are orange but doesn't change what it does! :wink:

 

Cool - good info. Thanks; I may ring you up and bring that IPA.
