Is that a 1.85 or 2.15 wide front rim. Maybe neither?

Those wheels look super. Keep up the good work. The blue paint job would look good. I think the classic racing green would look better with the gold on the wheels. Some gold on the tank would go good with the green. It is going to be a show class bike no matter what color you decide on.

Didn't realise you were goin' with the Distanzias. Besides lookin' cool they work real well on the street. I've got them on my Husqvarna 610SM and love them! Good choice!
Scabber,
Thanks I thought about green, but blue is my preferred choice.

Pregrid,
A friend had them fitted on his Tiger, had a quick go up and down the road and i thought they were good.
He swears by them on his Triumph Tiger.
I will try and get a picture of his Tiger a very underrated bike, don't know if you get them in the United states

I have kept the centre line of the R6 forks so they are wider than the standard XS650 app 15mm and had a set of yokes machined to suit.
Then I have manufactured a couple of spacers to go behind the discs to bring them in line with the R6 calipers.

I am using a standard XS650 wire wheel and with the new set up there is not a problem with the clearance.
I can send you a AutoCAD file of the spacers if the Fazer yokes and forks are the same centre line as a R6.

OK, R6 fork is wider than FZS one. I'll look at R6 yokes
Just a quick sit-rep,,,been away for a few weeks but the dry build is coming on

That's a bit nice Leslie. I like the wheels combo.
What make are the discs you're using.

EBC, standard discs, I didnt want the modern spider web ones, althought these are floating but still look retro if you know what I mean. All I did was paint the centres gold
I want to keep it as old looking as poss but modern at the same time hence the 2000 R6 forks which to a novice would look like standard, and i kept my new billet yokes to a 80s racing design.
A new old 8" head light next then a Trail tech speedo christ thye list just goes on and on
