    The latest and greatest (and stupid expensive) in lightweight components

    Just surfing the internet, looking at stuff I definitely don't need. But still fascinate me: Carbon fiber wheels. It is now possible to get a front wheel that weighs 2.5 kg/ around 5.5 lbs. From BST and others: https://blackstonetek.com/motorcycle-products/ Composite brake discs. Around HALF...

    Rim width recommendations? (Front vs Rear sizing)

    Just about ready to order a new set of spoked wheels for my ’80 Special, but I'm still undecided about the rim widths. From my research, the following widths appear to be reasonable upgrades for 100/90-19 and 110/90-18 tire sizes: - 2.15" front and 2.5" rear - 2.5" on both ends Are there any...

    Complete New Wheels From XS650 Direct

    XS650 Direct has a listing for brand new front and rear wheels. Has anyone seen these in person and if so, any comments about the hub casting fit and finish, rim brand, assembly quality and so on. They are pretty spendy, especially the rear, but when one adds up the cost of the components and...

    unknown Wheel identification

    Hello, Bit of a newbie question but I recently bought an 1975 XS650B and subsequently discovered that the forks that were installed on the bike were XS400 forks, and totally don't fit the bike (the stem is too short). Because of this I've gone ahead and bought 34MM forks from a fellow forum...

    Wanted - Disc mag wheels no tires

    Looking to score a set of decent condition mag wheels with a rear disc (not the rare and expensive drum mag rear) I'd highly prefer no tires included, as I'll need to buy new anyways, and it makes shipping cost a ton. Who's got 'em? Much appreciated

    Wheel Compatability

    Looking to build my tracker with mags and disks. Can anyone tell me if 77 RD400 or 77 XS500 wheels and disks will fit my 83 XS650? SR500 wheels are hard to find. Anyone know of any other options out there?

    I was riding along not too long ago, when I thought I must have run through a pot hole. Turns out the internal race and bearing in the rear wheel totally failed on me. In the process it mangled my right side/ disc brake side wheel spacer and dust cover... Now that I'm tearing it apart to...

    Newer Swingarm on Older Model

    Hey everyone, As the title reads, I am looking at installing a newer (1974-1984 models) swingarm with bracing on my 1973 TX650. I want to do this for better support and handeling, but also because my 130/90 tire seems to rub on the right side of the current swingarm. However, this seems to...
