Hi
I have just acquired an 18 inch front mag off of an RD400 as part of a deal for the RD's 18 inch rear wheel for my Cafe build. My question is, has anyone put an 18 inch front RD wheel into the front of an XS and if so what was it like on the road?
My cafe project is loosley themed on the early 70's TZ racers, so an 18 inch front wheel would be kind of in keeping with the theme, but only if it will work. Don't mind a bit of engineering work to make it fit if it's going to be beneficial.
What effect do you guys think fitting an 18 inch in place of the stock 19 inch rim have on steering and handling.
Any input gratefully received.
