are 300ex, 400ex, and 450r front hubs

[SET THE STAGE]

the same? i'm looking into some 450r or 400ex spindles for my 300 and from comparing all the front hubs, they look identical.

just wanting to know in case i could save myself the extra money from not buying another set of hubs if my 300 ones will bolt onto a 400ex spindle

all different, 400ex are the same as 89 250r and 88 250r(except tapered collar), 450r hubs are different in 04/05 and 06-current, not sure about year differences in 300ex, but the spindles are diffently different than 400ex/250r and 450r, so it would be safe to say the hubs are different too.

okay thanks.

which do you think would be the better setup for my 300? 400ex or 450r

450r 04/05 spindles, hubs and brakes would be the best, and the best brakes too.
