wheels

Hi, All - I'm in the process of gathering all the parts and hardware to swap a 2006 GSXR 750 fork and brakes onto my 1975 XS650, while converting to dual disc and using the stock front wheel. I know that this swap has been done, and re-hashed, and there's a lot of great information and a few...

I need 5 spokes for a 1978 standard good wheel, i can clean up if not too bad. this is a rider , not a show piece. rear needed

Some interesting info here. Was thinking about putting some wider rims on stock hubs so wanted to see what tires would work best. Note how narrow the metric tires to fit stock rims are. And some other useful charts RE tire selection.

This front wheel is 19 inches, but the rotor is mounted on with 4 bolts. I initially thought it was HD but theirs are usually 5 bolts. The axle allows an XS 650 front spindle in with no slop. It came to me attached to a generic and rusty springer bolted onto an xs frame, but that wheel is not...

anyone know where i could find this spacer. number 35.

Hi everone, I'm considering a new build using 21" wheels both F&R. My first thought would be to have new rims laced to the stock hubs but I've noticed that you can buy generic 21" HD style wheels rather cheap on eBay. I realize there would be issues with spacing, axle size, and caliper...

A friend & I are building two cafe racers this winter/spring. Both are Suzuki two strokes and we are planning on using black MikesXS XS650 rims. Friends bike: 1973 GT250 stock wheels: 1.6x18 front & 1.85x18 rear want to upgrade to: 1.85x18 front & 2.15x18 rear Will use stock disk...

I removed my rear wheel to have a new tire installed and I used this trick to reinstall it so I would not have to lift the heavy wheel onto the swing arm forks. With the bike on the center stand, I placed a floor jack under the front of the engine as I would to service the front wheel and...

Does anyone have any experience, specifically the '75, swapping a front wheel with another wheel from a different manufacturer? Saw a Suzuki gt550 front wheel that looks damn close, but not sure.

I have a 21 inch front drum wheel that came on my chopper build and I am 90% sure it is a xs400 hub (15mm axle). The wheel bearings have been changed to xs650 because the wheel was on a 17mm axle mounted to the forks. I have one question, Isn't there suppose to be a spacer in the middle of the...

On my 1979 xs650 I was told these rims are more desirable The PO called them deep dish rims so I'm not sure of the exact name if there is one I found two mounting points for a rear disc reservoir on the frame near the battery box So I assume they swapped out the disc to use these rims/drum...

Disclaimer: This is for a Suzuki GT550, not a Yamaha XS However, a spoked rim is a spoked rim, n'est-ce pas? I have a used replacement 18" rim for the GT. Overall, it's in good shape and runs pretty true, but it has one missing spoke and three bent spokes. So, questions: 1. Is there...

if i remove the disc will the cover housing, part number 1U42584700 fit it the place where the disc would mount or is there a part in which to conceal where the disc would normally be located? Any help would be greatly appreciated. WRMDOVR

Ok.... quick question guys. I have a set of chrome spoked wheels that are stock xs. What kind of valve stem do I need to get to run tubeless tires?

What tires, other than the TT100 look good on a bike this age ?

CL find, Borrani rim WN2 x 21 made in Italy, tire is a 3.00 x 21 Firestone made in Spain. Axle is 14mm x195mm thread to cap. a couple of triangle emblems on the hub and brake plate. Thought this would be cool on a board track type build... The bearings are 17mm ID there was a sleeve that...

Picked these up off craigslist for cheap-o. Dude said theyre off a Yamaha. Theyre 19 front and 18 rear with a 15mm front axle and 17mm rear axle. The wheels are JWL Japan and they say "suitable for use with tubeless". The front rotor is the same size as the one from my 75 XS650. Ive never seen...

So. Just a quick question to those that have been there enough to know more than I do (which is just about everybody). If one has a drum brake hub that has some rust in it, how does one go about restoring this to a usable condition? If the part is beyond restoration can they be repaired or...

Where do you guys get yours at? I really don't want to buy a 50 dollar kit. I need 2 for my rear axle.And both are 1 inch. I tried the washer trick and it was not looking good. They were sloppy as hell. Even tried a piece of pipe,,, still sloppy. There are fab shops in my area but no one...

As context I currently have 19/16 mags on my 79 special but the "look" I'm going for is spoked wheels, white wall tires. I have a set of 1977 19/18 36 spoke spoked wheels which are in need for a new set of spokes and some serious cleaning up, but damned if I can source an 18 inch rear white...
