I've got a 19 Crf450r and I am about to buy a wheelset for it. Im wanting to get a 21 or 22 within the next year or so and I am hoping the extra wheelset will fit. Does anyone know if they switched to a different hub standard for the new bike? I would be bummed if the sprocket or brake was in a different spot. Thanks!
Interesting - Honda dropped the rear disc guard in 2020 (for weight, less heating, whatever), but left the two mounting points on the rear caliper hanger. Going out on a limb, I'd have to bet they had TONS lying around and weren't about to retool. Only noticed this now from the photo, but it's a pet-peeve when seeing proper bike builds leave them on...

When Honda did the 2012-2013 rear wheel change, as I posted above, they moved the sprocket mounting surface 3mm outwards. I'd say getting launched over the handlebars is a little worse than buying end caps, LOL. Once people figured this out, the options were to buy a 3mm sprocket mounting spacer plate or a sprocket that had 3mm of offset built into it, assuming you were still riding after being launched over the bars, that is.
