wheels

I looking for some tires excatly like this. I email the monstercraftsmen guy several times asking them what sizes these were and nobody ever got back to me. Anyone wanna take a stab at it. I'm also looking for the correct tube size as well. Thanks a million fellas!

I have an XS1 front drum brake hub. I am wanting to lace an 18" rear rim to it. To get the fat front tire look. What size spokes can i go with or is this a custom made spoke job. Any help will do. I was told that since the front hub is just a bit smaller than the rear I could use rear 18"...

If I was going to order new rims from Mikes, what width would I order. I don't think they are measured from the outside, and with tires on now I can't measure from the inside edges. I need measurements from both front and rear, thanks

I'll be starting on my wheels soon and wanted to get some opinions...If I wanted to go with black rims --- would it be wiser to just powder coat the OEM's which are steel or would it be a noticeable handling upgrade with the lighter weight to go with aluminum rims say from MikesXS?

looking for some one thats good quick in the portland area. anyone know of some place to recommend. whats a good price for a wheel that is already laced and just needs to be trued. spokes and rim are brand new if that makes a difference.

Okay, this is my very first post. I just bought a 1975 xs 650. But I foolishly bought rims prior to this. They are off a Harley street glide, but are used on others. They are the 28 spoke version. The rear is 6 3/4 inch wide by 17 tall. I know I can get a wider swing arm. I know I can get a...

Seems my digital calipers have walked away from my tool box. Anyone have this measurement?

my back wheel is an HD wheel any guys here running an hd wheel? what do you run for sproket on your xs? thanks for all

Can anyone ID this wheel hub and speedo connector so I can order the correct speedo cable. It looks like it is Yamaha trials bike front wheel, 21". There is a small round hole in where the speedo should sit, and when I had the brakes apart for cleaning recently I recall seeing it would have to...

Looking to get a set of vintage style (K70) Dunlops for my XS2. From what I see & what is on the bike, a ribbed style is the choice for a front tire. Knowing the early bikes liked to wobble at speed, I can understand that a ribbed tire would be ideal. Most of my riding will be country roads...

hi i guess you guys have already answer this type of question, which i tried to look for the answer on the forum but didnt find or didnt have the time to look over all ....i have a 1981 yamaha xs650 Heritage special with 19x1.85 64 spokes and what im trying to do is to change my front wheel to a...

Hello, sorry to make a new post, but I cannot find what i'm looking for. I've been working on a '72 tx750 chopper project that I somehow obtained on a trade. I've been trying to figure out if I have any options for drum brake front wheels. I've searched around the internet, and even bought a...

So i finally came to re-assemble my rear hub. All new brake components, powder coat, chain and sprockets etc. However when i was chasing the threads on the hub before fitting the new sprocket, i discovered one of the bolts has sheared off about half way down. I guess there is about 10mm of...

Hey folks, Im curious if anyones ever had both front and back wheels on their bike 16"s? I'm looking to create this sort of look: https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-3OT2tEJ73X4/TYWgITrexhI/AAAAAAAAEDU/Tht2MSnqweo/s1600/1963_jawa_250cc_2-stroke_bobber_cranberry.jpg Would there be any...

Looking for advice on a drive chain tensioner. The roller type looks like there might be, or could be some issues with the chain slipping off the roller. What do you folks consider to be the best? A sprocket type or roller type tensioner? Or does it matter? Thx... Charlie [/URL][/IMG]

I picked up a set of rims in a parts purchase and I'm curious to their provenance. 19 front and 18 rear, steel construction but shoulderless. I didn't see any manufacture stamp.......36 spoke and unlike the alu rain catchers and unlike the '80's Specials. Early 650's?

I have a rim from mikesxs WM 19 x 2.50, is it important which way the rim is when lacing or can i turn it both way

Hi, I am starting another build shortly and this one will be a Cafe Racer with a modern twist. So I am looking to go with USDs, spoked wheels and discs all round. Obviously, this leads to many a conundrum with the type of forks to use, wheels etc etc Has none had any experience with a...

im swaping my tx74 wheels with a aust member for a set of 81 mags (rear 16inch) both rear drum brake.is there any part of the swap not interchanible (ie, brake hub spacers,brake rod etc)

Just ordered some tires for my bike from the local rip off shop. I priced them online and found better deals but not by enough to warrant the hassle. So the front was $84, rear $95, $20 each for the tubes. Not a horrible price. But they want $40 a piece to install them if I bring the...
