Rim swap

[tigman175]

I have an 83 heritage special. I want to swap out my spokes for the mags with the disc brakes. Is it a direct replacement?? (besides the brake system of course). I am going to make a bobber and would rather have the mags. thanks

Yes,it is a direct swap.If you are going with a rear disc brake you will also need the caliper and bracket.Mike's XS now sells the rear master cylinder.

If your not doing a hardtail then you need the swingarm from a factory mag bike.

or just weld a tab to mount the caliper stay on the top of the swingarm.

Hi Travis B,
FYI the '83 stock wire wheels have WAY too many spokes and steel rims. IMHO they are uglier than the 7-spoke artillery wheels and they won't run tubeless neither.
Aesthetically the mid-70s deep groove aluminum rims are best. I bought a set for $150 the pair but that was 20 years ago.
