Ok, what size front and rear mag wheels are there with DISK brakes? Is 18 the largest for the rear? Is there a 21 inch mag wheel for the front?

Sorry for the most likely stupid questions but since people seem to prefer spoked rims, mag info comes off as kind of scarce. lol
 
No, there isn't, at least not from a 650. 16" were the only mags with discs for the rear. 19" were the only mags for the front. The info isn't "scarce". Do some research like looking at parts diagrams. You can learn all about your bike and the 650s in general by doing that. Here's a good site for the diagrams .....

I put an 18" mag from a 77 xs400 on my 78 special. Its not a direct bolt on, but near it. I went to a bearing house and got bearings to fit the xs400 wheel on the od, but fit the xs650 axle on the id. then i just cut the xs650 spacers down to fit, along with washers to get the wheel centered. Just take your time and its not too hard to do.
