Rear spoke hubs that will fit XS650.

[Anders JB]

Hello.
I have searched the forum,but mostly found answers about rear disc hubs.

Here in Sweden the spoked rear XS drumbrake Wheels are really hard to find,16" mags are the common Wheels here.
Doe's anybody know if there are any more "common" japanese rear drumbrake hub that could fit?
No problems to modify,or if it is work involved to make it fit,just need something to start with.

The main problem seems to be the sprocket size,the XS have much smaller sprocket than most japanese bikes from that era,so that limits the donors.
Would be really greatful if someone could give me some idea,or maybe have done this themself?
And drumbrake is what I want.

Anders.

Although not real common, the '73-'74 TX750 rear wheel is a drop-in swap. Same axle size and sprocket bolt pattern but actually has a slightly bigger drum and brake. The TX/XS500 rear can also be adapted with a little work (added spacers). It has the same axle size as well and also a rubber cush drive for the sprocket.
