XS650 Addict
I just picked up a 650SE and have decided to do it up in street tracker style.
I bought a used front wheel from a 80 XS110 to use as the rear for my project. I am going to build my own mounts as I have a lathe and milling machine in my garage. I have started with the sprocket side, I machined a sprocket starting with a 530 sprocket blank purchased from a local supplier. I used 12mm dowel pins between the teeth to mount it in the lathe and milling chucks. I bored the center to 2.516" to be the same size and the brake rotor mount on the wheel. Then added the bolt holes using an 80mm center hole circle and 6 decorative holes to resemble the original sprocket. Then I coated the exposed bare metal areas with a black oxide finish. I machined a sprocket spacer from a 4.5" round of aluminum I bought a the local metal supplier.
Here are the plans I drew to plan the machning of the spacers.
