hubs

Hi guys, I sourced this 1973 TX 750 hub as an upgrade and after cleaning off the layers of crud with 80/240 Dico wheels I found this cavity on the edge (drive side). Is this hub good? I plan to relace the wheel with new TX750 spokes (Buchanan's). Can I just fill this with JB Weld and...

Hey everyone, hope you had a good weekend. I'd be grateful for you opinions on whether or not this hub needs machining on a lathe or just a good passover with sandpaper o glass beading? As background, there was a pronounced 3-4mm wide lip that was about 1mm high at the edge of the hub. The...

What is the hub width on an XS650 Front wheel? Is the drum the same width as disc? What is the actual measurement?

Is it safe to powder coat hubs? I know plenty of people do it but you need to heat the parts to about 400+ degrees during the process. I've read that it's hot enough to do something to aluminum hubs and will slightly weaken them. Also, I've read you shouldn't powder coat cylinders because...
