Wheel sizes?

[jammiedodger]

Hi, I'm new to the world of XS's and I'm thinking of buying a xs650 us custom....in mind to make a street tracker as I quite fancy using the mag wheels.
I think I'm right in saying the rear wheel on these is 16" with an 18" on the front....does anyone out there know if a xs 750/850 rear wheel would fit?
Im looking to match the front with an 18" rear .
Cheers for any advice

The XS mags are 16" rear and 19" front. If you click on the orange tech tab on top, you can find more info on wheels/tires.

The 750/850 was a shaft drive so no, the rear wheel won't swap, or at least not without a major amount of re-fabbing. An RD400, XS400, or XS500 might be an easier swap. Still need some adapting but at least they're chain driven to begin with. One of the big problems with many wheel swaps is the rear sprocket size. The 650 runs a quite small 34T. Most of the mentioned wheels use sprockets in the 40s. A small range of alternative sizes are usually available, but not as low as 34.
