Hey everyone,

I've seen a couple builds now that have a 23" drum front wheel. A local motorcycle junkyard has a couple for sale, but before I make the purchase, I'm curious how hard it is to make them fit the stock axle/fork.

Any and all help on how to mount these wheels to the stock forks is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
 
If your using the stock Honda hub on the 23 it takes a 15mm axle.... The xs axle is 17mm. To fit my 23 I just turned my axle down the 2mms. You'll need to make a couple small spacers too. If you need your axle turned and/or spacers made I would be glad to help you out.

livingdeadmc,

In that pic you posted, the top of the tire looks so close to the bottem of the lower yolk. Do they ever make contact, or rub?
