My extra tires/rims are all Honda pattern. So LTR450/LTZ400 rear hubs was easy, but the front hubs swap isnt.

1) I read about reindexing the front lugs on Zilla hubs. That's a lot of weld building up needed & machining.
2) Read up on LTZ400 front spindle/hubs swap. YFZ450 front brakes bolt right on. Seen pics of the Zilla ball joints maxed out limiting the full droop of the zilla a arms. New a arms make this conversion work.

Anyone know of another way for this swap?

I have an Ideal, I bit far fetched, could call Lone Star do a group buy on there CNC front hubs for the Banshee spindles with the 0.200" step modification and the 4 x 144 pattern and see what happens, say 10 sets, might get a deal on price, might pass out from there pricing.
FYI Mike, you can get a LTZ400 hub, spindles, brake, rotors for less than $125.00, plus we will need rotors for the new hubs.

FYI the LTZ400 rotors are the same size as the LT500

What might be cheaper for you is do the Banshee hubs swap, and run dual pattern rims, down load the template for the fronts 4 x 156.
I have a few set for my LT500/DS650 and they work out great.

I have itp style rims, cut centers like a shamrock. Redrilling wouldn't work right.

I have banshee hubs on my zilla, but I also have custom a arms from Metal Tech. They use heim joints for all contact points including upper and lower ball joint locations.

Any pics of that setup?

Yeah Mitch, Scored the spindles/hubs/rotors/yfz450 calipers....

I aslo dont use front brakes so mine wont be helpful here. I dont like to slowdown. Just aim it and pin it!!
