I'm going to use the stock radian axle because it is 17mm which is also the size of the front wheel axle so the front hub was a straight fit :). I will have the shock mounts changed more to the inside. Anyone got any tips on what size of shocks to use?

Been a while but a little busy with a lot of VW engines for friends I needed to build. Got some spoke wheels! And started tearing the bike further apart. Going to bring it to a specialized bike builder this Saturday so he will do some framework and making spacers. I just don't have the time and...

I was thinking of getting such type of caliper. http://link.marktplaats.nl/554072180 I understand what you mean with the tie rod. But there must be another way :D. During my search I found something regarding the use of a Yamaha RD/RZ caliper bracket on the rear. Or maybe use one from a...

Thanks for the kind replies! Another question :). I would like to use a Brembo/or similar caliper on the rear from a modern bike. They are quite cheap and they look better than the stock caliper. As with the Radian swing arm some thing will change I better do this now as well. Can...

Hi Frank, Thanks for the info on the swingarm and shock. Will keep that in mind. No I won't be going to SCC, already been to the Classic Week this year in the states so I'm out of holidays @ work :D. I see what you mean by being busy. Same story here think I build 7 VW engines for...

Hi Frank, Ok I already noted the needle bearing so that would be a good upgrade. Well i'm not going to use a kit from OMAR because the radian swingarm is wider so I'm going to have spacers made here locally. But yes using a front wheel at the back. Think of relace it to an 18 inch rim...

Looks very nice Frank, any chance you will be going to Das Drag Day in Bitburg? Would be nice to meet. I'm also going with the radian swing arm, what shocks are you going to use?

Found two complete wheels so no need anymore! Thanks for looking

Has been a while but I have been very busy. In the meantime I picked up a Radian swingarm and found 2 19 inch front spoke wheels in Germany which will be sent to me this week. A question, when i have a radian swing arm do I still need the bronze bushings? Will get some photographs this...

As it seems hubs are hard to find a complete spoked front wheels is also ok!

Matt sorry to hijack your thread but did you receive my PM's regarding the front hubs?

I also checked Ebay but without result. Anyone got a pair? Or one? I got a PM from moparmatt91 but it seems he doesn't receive my PMs back.

How much is shipping to the Netherlands?

Hi all, I'm looking for two XS front hubs for spoke (36) wheels. Thanks! Jesse

Hi all, I'm working op my 79 (3L1) XS to turn it into a cafe racer. I purchased a radian swing arm because I think it should be a nice upgrade. At the moment I have disc brakes front and back with the 19 and 16 inch mag wheels. I want to change them for 18 inch spoke wheels front and back...

I would love a set to get for my birthday which is tomorrow :)

Cool to see Frank we got the same interests :). Long time no posting because I've been busy with all kinds of things. Now back to working on the XS. Stripped the bike further and now looking for some inspiration. I'm leaning more towards a cafe racer with spoke wheels. I was thinking...

I'm not new to the customising scene. Below a photograph of my '64 beetle which I restored myself. Also build the engine myself which is a 2176cc now with 188hp. Real fun at the stoplights :). Yesterday I started stripping the bike: Engine was ok and it also fired up before I stripped...

Thanks for the kind words guys!
