Can i change to the bigger ABS style drums without changing the whole beam? - HDIkyle - 12-12-2012

As about, I was to get some of the much bigger drums that seem to be on ABS models from what i have seen. Can i just change the drums and setup without having to swap beams?

You'll obviously have to change the backing plates too, but theres also a difference in stub shaft lengths. I'm not sure what has what, but I know I tried it and the hub nut wouldn't go on enough, ie the smaller drum hub had a shorter shaft. Might be easier to change the whole beam?
