He has always been hard to get a response from. Good luck.
Try Jim Henry from Houston, Tx. He makes adapters to fit the 19 in. wheels for the 650. I've got his on my tracker and the quality is very good.His e-mail is racingjim90n@yahoo.com I think he is off racing this week so it might be next week before he can answer.

I agree with Plowboy. I was able to obtain the kit from Jim Henry---just a little different than Omar's kit but it works.

Go with the Henry's kit. I have heard good things about it. He races his own XS with the kit, so it has to be good.

What was the cost of the kit?
Yes I would like to know how much it's sounds like it what I'm looking for and I hope he will post to Australia it's the last thing I'm after to finish my cafe racer I was going to spend my hard earned money with omars but from what I've read the way he treats his customers fuck him I hope he goes broke
I bought mine two yrs. ago from Jim and I think it was $150.00. You get two machined alum. adapters and the inner and outer spacers. You buy the bearings and the metric socket head cap screws to bolt it to the wheel. Uses the stock oem sprocket and brake disc.

He makes 2 different kits, an adapter to use stock rear disc & caliper, plus he makes a kit that is quick change for sprockets & rotors like racers use.

From what I have read on here Omars us under new ownership and will mainly be doing fiberglass work like they previously offered but may branch out to do some of the other products too soon. There is another member on here trying to get some made but with Omars possibly being back in the game who knows how it will work out.

I ended up using the front wheel from an XS1100 Yamaha, early model not sure the year.
But, did notice it is heavier built than the 650 or other smaller model rims of the same size.
Center hub is a little meatier for one and other areas are thicker for the heavier XS1100, so it makes for a better back rim.
IMHO

Brian, is that 11 front also a 1.85 wide rim?
