Will this fit on stock 1.85/19" rim? Anyone running these?

Hi! As my build is focused on improved function (read less weight, more power, better brakes and handling), as well as maintaining the 70's look, I have a question regarding gauges: Are there any reasonably prized, lightweight, analog electronic tachometers and speedometers that you can...

Hello I've got a set of 75 dished rims. Can I lace the front one to a newer hub and use a 35 mm front end? I'd like to know before ordering spokes for these.

I'm liking these types of tires. At least I like this look. The question is, what are they? Where can I get them? Also, for the look, are these on smaller rims, or does it just look this way? That's a bad ass tank also, so if you know where that is...hey I'll take that info to.

Hey guys, I scored what I think is a XS650 wheel and its in pretty good shape, got the disk too BUT I think I'm missing something and my clymer shop manual isn't beeing very helpful. Can anybody direct me in the right direction.... Looks like I'm missing the thing the disk bolts on to.... I...

does anyone know where i can find narrow trees? trees that look clean. I know the harley has a stock option. but id like something cleaning then stock. Rake on the trees could be a plus too and a matching upper lower too. ive found some for 500 + but im looking to spend less than that. any...

I'm building my second XS650 - kind of a "cafe/scrambler". I'm going with 18" rear with stock drum brake and a 19" front (both spoke). I'd like to ditch the heavy stock caliper and rotor and replace with a GSXR caliper and rotor (singe side). Dose anyone have any info on this type of swap...

I got these old wheels in trade for some work I performed on a friend's guitar. They are from a Yamaha, as there is a very small tuning fork stamp on the inside of the drum. And all the hardware matches all that is on my xs650. So I can tell that they are probably form an older xs650. Other...

Hello everyone! So i'm just getting into the fun (and $$ part) of the rebuild on a 76 XS and was able to pick up a mint condition (brand new) front end from a 2011 GSXR600 with the 4 pot brembo calipers and Showa fully adjustable front forks. Now I need to find a spoked rim that I can hook...

Hi guys, sorry if this question has been answered on a previous post but when searching I was unable to find it. I'm looking to fit a 400x19 firestone deluxe to the front and a 450x18 firestone deluxe to the rear, just wondering if there will be any issues with the fitment to the spoked...

Hey guys, I'm having some trouble lacing a 21" DT rim to my stock XS front hub. First off, a bit of background. I took the rim and hub to a very well respected wheel builder in my area. He manufactured custom spokes and re-drilled the rim to make it work. He offered to lace it up for an extra...

Hi I want to put a dunlop k81 tire on the front of my 1979 xs 650.The tire is listed as a 410/19. Will this tire fit between my fork legs? Thanks

Does a 21 inch front wheel offer any advantages or disadvantages when it comes to assertive riding? I'm not talking about 63 degree lean angles or whatever, just a bit of spirted tear-assing around now and then. :) My other choice would most likely be a 19 inch if not the 21. Thank you...

So I am not a big fan of mags in stock form, however I would like to do more than simply drill them out like so many others. I am thinking of milling out the center of the spokes to some extent, but the kicker is I don't have a mill. I was thinking of drilling the start and stop points and then...

I have a 1975 with spoked wheels that I'm putting new tires on. I bought tubeless tires for it but when I took the old tires off they had tubes. Do those wheels require a tubed tire or will I be fine with the tubeless? The previous owner had a wide tracker tire on the front so I'm wondering...

I built this bike within the last 3 months. I still have a few things to do it but it's done for the most part. Here is the bike in its current state and also a link with a few more pics of the build process. I welcome all comments and any questions. Thanks for looking.

okay so I just found a site that sells machined hubs for a gsxr fork swap! some of you may have seen these before sometimes someone will make one or two for themselves but these guys are selling them! here is a link: http://cognitomoto.com/products/gsx-r-hub-bolt-on-conversion-laced-wheel...

I am shopping for K70s for stock xs500 wire wheels. I am seeing sizes 4.00s-18 &4.00h-18. I assume the h stands for shouldered rim. Which do I need? Does it matter? Thanks in advance for your help.

Will these tires fit my stock xs1 b wheels? Stock being 3.25/19 on front, 4.00/35-18 on back. Dunlops are 4.10/18 and 3.50/19 respectively. Opinions on these tires? Thank you!
