wheels

Hello all...its been a while since I've been on here. I still periodically drop in to check classifieds but I've been pretty pre-occupied building my 30 x 42 foot shop. :thumbsup: Now that its pretty well caught up, my mind has drifted back to potential Street Tracker builds with all my...

Hi Guys Ive fitted a new front sprocket, rear sprocket (all standard) and chain. Noticed a light tack tack tack or whirring noise when the wheel spins. Checked the wheel alignment using the old school string method and adjusted it accordingly. Checked chain wasn't too tight (20mm or so free...

Im trying to remove the bearings in my wheels for powder coat and bearing replacement. Ive read the posts about moving the spacer to the side to get at the bearing. It looks like my spacer goes from side to side, outer edge of bearing to outer edge of bearing. Or is there 3 spacers in there?

I'm going to buy new tires. Since the front is 19" and the rear is 18", I want to even out a little bit the height difference by choosing a higher rear tire and a lower front tire. Have anyone experimented with this? Any reflections from anyone? I'm thinking about buying Avon AM26...

I saw some on pandemoniums instagram, the guy never responded to me but he says he sells them. Can someone post photos of dna wheels? they looked awesome but too small to really make an opinion

Hi all, I'm new to the forum for that matter the XS650 or Motorcycle building. Though not new to the Mech. thing albeit a bit rusty. I've build many Veedubs back in the 70's/80's and currently racing amateur cyclist. Some days you just want to ride two wheels and not peddle. So onto the...

I have a dumb question but I am wanting to build a boardtacker and I am having a hard time finding a rear wheel that is 21" to 24". I am sure that I could use a matching front wheel but not sure what all I would have to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone have pictures of a 16 rear with a 19 front tire on Tc hardtail, perf spokes. Also what a about 18-19 with tc hardtail. Thanks guys trying to decide which to do.

I am in need of a front hub off a 1971 xs 650. Can some one help?

Hey guys, I'm trying to lace my rims and I keep running into issues. Unfortunately, not the same one each time. What I did was I put in all the inner spokes on one side, then I put in all the inners on the other side. They all seemed to go as they should. Now I'm at the outers for the first...

OK, I can't believe I'm asking this question. I have an 82 bobber. Got a flat front and so I know now it's time to replace both tires cuz they're like 100 years old. Stock mag wheels. Here's the dumb question: do these have tubes and if yes, what size? it's got the front disc brake and rear...

Hey all, I am planning to do some upgraded brakes on my bike. Probably something like calipers from an early R1 as those had a 298mm rotor like the XS, and whatever rotor that will fit the bolt pattern. Making up the spacer for the rotor offset won't be a big deal, but I just noticed today...

I am looking for an alternative to stock xs spoke wheels, I came across a 1974 Yamaha DT360 wheel set and I am wondering if anyone on here has any experience or knowledge on DT360 wheels.

Hi, first post ever....:-) I'm looking for some tire advice from the forum. I found these: ContiClassicAttack. "Brand new developed radial tire for classic bikes" http://www.conti-online.com/www/motorcycle_de_en/themes/motorcycletires/conti_classic_en/classic_attack_en.html Any...

I would think keeping all other variables the same except going to a wider rim, the spokes would be the same, correct? Or are the spoke holes spread out slightly more on a wider rim? I am asking because I'm looking to order spokes from MikesXS, and they claim the kit I'm looking at fits...

I am looking into options for something around a 3" wide, 21" Heritage 64 spoke front wheel to use as a rear wheel on a project. Online searches haven't turned up much along the lines of someone being able to make me a custom wheel. If anyone knows a company that could make me a custom wheel...

Hey Guys. I have a set of custom 17" wheels on my bike that I didn't build myself. I need to Change the spoke set on the rear wheel since 5 broke already. As far as I can tell the rim is an 17" Excel and the hub original. Any reccomedations on what spokes to buy and where? Thank you. Morten

Did any of the Specials that came with wire wheels, have a 16 inch rear with a Disc brake, or were all the rear wire wheel drums?

I need an I.D. on this 18" wheel that I acquired in a trade. The rim is aluminum alloy, but is not a shouldered rain-catcher. Thank you.

I'm looking to put as wide and tall a tire my stock mag rims will take. I am stretching the rear 3 inches, so I have room. I was wondering what anyone has been able to fit. I will have disc brakes, and am looking to go for an aggressive look for the tires so if you know of any, then great. Also...
