Is there a 40 spoke rear rim for a 1980 or a rim from another bike that would work

Hi @Shovelhead,
You can have a wheel custom built to any new or existing hub if you want to spend the money.
My converion on the 1980 XS650 was a success for me. I sourced a rim in the UK to match the front wheel. Purchased a disc conversion hub from Cognito-Moto USA. Stainless spokes completed the wheel build; together with machined spacers and new bearings.
