Members who are running a rear 16x3.5 or 18x3.5 Harley wheel with the 3/4 axle... what brake and what size rotors are you using. If you have photos, please post.
Thanks
 
where do you get sprockets from. They are belt drives? I'm looking into this as it would be easier than trying to clean rusting spokes.
 
you can get blank sprockets at surpluscenter.com i think a number 50 is the same as a 530,u can get with a 2" center and drill your own holes to mount,someone else here told me about this place,heres the specs,its 15 dollars :thumbsup:
HUBLESS 50 PITCH SPROCKET
Brand new, roller chain sprocket with center bore to fit weld on hubs. Use with any X series hub listed in the chart below.

SPECIFICATIONS
Pitch 50
Teeth 34
Outside Dia. 7.12"
Fits X series hubs (2" bore in sprocket)
Shpg 4 lbs.
 
You can get the same sprocket at the farm supply stores. I think they need to be hardened. They are not really designed for high speed use.
A #50 sprocket or chain has the same pitch and width as 530. The chains won't hold up on a motorcycle. Tensile strength is much lower. Most farm equipment won't put 50 hp on a chain.
