Bump....

I figure I'll give it a day or two to see if anyone here has a 21×1.85 (recommended width), 36 spoke aluminum rim before I go the eBay route seeing as I haven't found a reasonably priced one there yet. Someone here has to have one lying around in their garage that isn't being used.

Nice! I sure do like that wheel/tire combo. I was just looking the specs up for that tire myself: I have a pretty wide range of widths that will work so I'm sure I'll be able to find something out there. Thanks again for your help

Hey guys, I'm looking for a 21" front wheel ready to bolt up to my '79 special 2. I'm not really looking for a harley wheel that would require further modification to make work. I've done that in the past with other builds and while it's not difficult to do I just don't have a whole lot of...

Fredintoon, yeah the big wheel is an interesting machine that not many people remember. Pretty ugly really but i have a soft spot for them and they are unstoppable offroad. I do have experience riding hard tails. You're right though they are rough on the back, guess I'm just a glutton for...

Hey everyone, new guy here from Northeast NC. I just purchased my first xs650 ('79 special 2) so I'll be spending quite a lot of time here researching the topic. Im going to build a hard tail for it (as soon as I get a new 1-1/8" die in for my bender) among other things. Actually, this bike...
