This would be great, but to post in the tech section you should know what you are doing in the 1st place. Questions belong in the RSD.
But of course if you find out how to do this, list the parts with 36 8x10 glossies with circles and arrows complete with descriptions we'll move it right back to the tech section.
till then you inna heap o'trouble boy. Grin

If any spoked rear wheel is a bolt on....I am not sure which one. Most likely it is a Suzuki one, and from the 70's....so the wheel is most likely from a parts bike with corroded spokes, rusty rims, etc. If is is a nice one, it most likely won't be cheap.

Most of us that convert to the 18" wheel buy a new set of spokes and a new 2.50x18 or 3.50 x 18 rim and use the original hub.

With a normal 110 or 130 size tire - the stock swing arm does not need to be modified for clearance.

Someday I will be old......But not today!
