Anyone know what this drum brake model

[Magzie]

Hi Anyone know what this drum brake model is off the engine is a xs650c 1975 to 76.
I can't find the right cable for speedo and brakes. Have no idea what I'm doing.
Any help or guidance would be great.
Thanks

It may be from an XS1 but someone with more knowledge will have to confirm that. What I can tell you is the forks and wheel are assembled wrong. The brake plate should be on the other side, and the fork legs have been swapped side to side as well. The axle nut should be on the right side, the side shown in all your pics, and that fork lower that clamps on the axle should be on the left side. Basically, you've got it backwards, lol. The brake can't be hooked up and the speedo would run backwards.

That is not an XS650 wheel. 1970-1971 had front drum brakes, but yours is not it.
The big slot on the right side of the brake plate at 9 o'clock in your pics -- there should be a key in the fork leg that fits into it. I doubt you have that key on either of your fork legs.
Your best course of action would be to find the proper front disc brake wheel that your year is supposed to have. Unfortunately, I think you're going to have to find fork legs too. You don't have any pics from the left side, but it looks like the mounting eyes for the disc brake caliper have been shaved off of your fork legs.

I'm leaning towards a Honda drum brake...... can anyone with one at hand... check it out ?

From what I remember just about all the old Honda's used a brake stay instead of this "slotted" arrangement.

40 spoke wheel. This 1972 Suzuki T 250 Bj drum looks close.
