Original posts from the thread he linked with pictures restored:


I just got the front wheel done, and took it for a short ride. The swap was mostly straight foward. Took a little off the spacers, had the O.D. of the rotor turned down, and spaced the caliper 5.5mm. I'll wait a week or so till I start on the rear, and it's looking like I'm gonna do a chain conversion, just to make the swap a little easier, unless once I get started, I find adapting the pulley won't be too involved.






The one I'm useing is a 16". I'll be runing a 130 so I can put my saddle bag supports back on. Just for kicks I might put a Harley brand dunlop on it, plus Harley riders are getting 12,000-plus miles on em.

"am having a hell of a job cleaning the wheels and spokes"

Oh, you can do that?  I ride.  I don't clean.  My bike is lucky to get hosed off a couple times a year and occasionally get the bug spatters removed.

Different strokes for different folks.
