[member9947]

Hey I need help I have a 1973 xs650 with a DNA springer front end with a 21 inch sportster tire with no brake at all in the front I'm just running off a rear drum I don't like the look of a front disc so I took it all off I now want to put a front drum on there I looked online for answers and no good I figure I will have to find a old dirt bike tire and change the bearings and drill out housing but before I wing it I want to see if any of u did this yet my axle size again is 3/4 please help

I've never heard of a Sporster tire. I'm assuming you mean you have a Sportster hub/spool laced to a 21" rim. If that's the case an early Sportster or K Model drum brake hub might be all you need. But with no more specifics than you've given us as to what you have now it's really hard to say what you might need.

I think some more measurements may be needed.
