Yamaha USA would typically solicit and vet aftermarket products then handle sales and distribution through their parts network.

Wheels are stock size for '76, I believe that would be 18"/19"?

Those gorgeous American Chopper classics? Yeah they were a Yamaha catalog item fersher. Peter Fonda and all the hells angels were in awe.

It's a small market because most don't "get" the provenance, Joe bystander is going to think; nice restored XS650 why did the guy put mags on it???

Exactly, well said. My edit would be: why did the guy put weird star wheels on it???
