quicky question. I cannot find any image or description that explains which way round the rear wheel adjusters fit.! I have searched the forum without luck. The adjusters have a thin side and a thickened side that the axle fits through. Does the thick side go outside the dropouts ? or do...

Hey, First Post! Recently swapped out the 530 chain and sprocket set for a 520 set. now when running i get a little bit of an oil leak. I tracked it down where the transmission output shaft meets the sprocket. I *think* what's wrong can be attributed to me having about 1/16"...

Got a weld-on tensioner for my build. Wondering if i should cope the uprights to fit the frame better.Or should i leave it as is? My buddy is a welder and he thinks i should. I think no as there won't be any adjustment for the "sweet spot". Thoughts?

I have been playing around trying to get my wheel mounted, I noticed when I tighten the axle the drum won't spin. Is it possible I tightened it too much and damaged something? Could I have pushed the bearing in to where the drum cover isn't touching it? Should I just be looking at replacing the...

Ok, well I probably suck at using the search function, but I need some info. I seem to remember reading that there was a difference in axle size and/or length between the early and later model XS650's. I don't know if it was the front, rear, or both. I'm in search of some spoke wheel hubs or...

I have a mag wheel and I'm running a k70 Dunlop tube type tire on the front and I can't seem to get the tire to seal on the wheel 100%. There is a small portion on each side of the wheel where the tire is stuck in the V-shape part of the rim and won't pop out to the side to seal. Does anyone...

Does anyone know how to remove the bearing from the front brake rotor? First bike I have ever seen with separate bearings for the rotor and wheel. I am assuming that the disk shaft, #27 in the attached photo, is pressed into the bearings, #21 in the photo, and therefore can be pressed out...

I just picked up a XS1 drum front wheel and did some searching about mating it up to newer model forks but came up with nothing. I dont have the wheel in hand yet, but im hoping that everything is good to go without having to replace the rim. Anyways, looking for any info about what needs to be...

I have a rear wheel from a 72 xs650. Other than the rim spokes and hub I had to find sources for all the other wheel parts. I ordered both the right and left bearings, the bearing spacer with the flange, and the top hat. I noticed there is about 1/8 to 1/4 inch space between the bearing...

Just got back my wheels from getting chrome today.. here they are.. bling bling lol. really made my cafe/bobber come to life.. still have alot more to send to chrome and out to powered coating.

so i have been looking a lot at buying some warp9 wheels/more modern disk wheels. i would like to use stock fork and swingarm. the biggest problem is i cant seem to find the internal bearing size on any and when i go around searching for axle sizes of specific MX bikes i come up with nothing. i...

I have a 64-72 front Harley ironhead drum that I'm looking to lace to a 21" Hub. I already know the Internet is not my friend so I'm sure I'm missing it somewhere. I can't seem to find one though or at least the style. I'll leave a link to the rear wheel I bought for my xs project. Any...

Hello I need a little assistance. I recently purchased new tires for my build but I am not sure if it will work. Can anyone tell what is the widest tire they have used with a tc brow hard tail. I picked up a 140/90/16 for my rear mag. This looks good but i dont think the fit with the...

Hey all, I have my original front hub all trimmed up and polished... ready to be laced with a new 21" rim. I have been looking around for options and have been surprised at the cost of a 21" rim (ideally I would like chrome-shouldered), spokes and rubber. Anyway, I have recently come across a...

I got my DNA supermoto wheels and my YZ swingarm. Hopefully will do a mockup this weekend. I have to trim down the swing arm to fit the frame. For now I'm going to leave the thrust washers off as it will fit that way. I don't have bearings for the wheels yet, I need 12 wide and allballs only has...

Hi! I see that there is a DOT approved flat track tyre on the market now. I assume that would be a good choice for unpaved local roads, logging roads, etc. But the size specs are different than for street rubber. The rear GT268CC is 27.5-7.5-19, the front GT267CC is 27.0-7.0-19, according...
