A friend & I are building two cafe racers this winter/spring.
Both are Suzuki two strokes and we are planning on using black MikesXS XS650 rims.
Friends bike: 1973 GT250
stock wheels: 1.6x18 front & 1.85x18 rear
want to upgrade to: 1.85x18 front & 2.15x18 rear
Will use stock disk brake/hub front & stock drum brake rear.
Looking at MikesXS: http://www.mikesxs.net/products-56.html#products
Am considering:
rim #34-3181 is "H 1.85x18 36 hole shouldered aluminum rim Black"for the GT250 front
rim #34-3182 is "H 2.15x18 36 hole shouldered aluminum rim Black"for the GT250 rear
My bike: 1972 GT550
stock wheels: 1.85x19 front & 2.15x18 rear
Want to upgrade to: 2.15x18 front & rear
Will use stock 4LS double-drum brake front & stock drum brake rear.
Am considering:
rim #34-3182 is "H 2.15x18 36 hole shouldered aluminum rim Black"for the GT550 front & rear
Anyone know what spokes we can use for either bike? (Either stock or MikesXS)
Or do we need to go with custom Buchanan spokes?
