18" rear wheel
06/15/16 at 12:54:13

ok, so i've been plundering my workshop and a mate's garage and i've got a set of mudguards (fenders) and some handlebars, seat etc to turn a savage into a 1940's style bike. i dont have the bike yet but i like to prepare! are there any retrofit 18" wire wheels that will fit or is it a case of lacing an 18" rim to the existing hub? any clearance or belt issues? thanks in advance for any abuse/advice.

Good wheel/rims of that era are a bit hard to find in workable condition. Here is a link to a really nice bike in the Build Section. http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1369527081/0

Not really hard to put A book somewhere. I'm envisioning a place now. The need to find a way to criticize what I thought was a gentle and supportive reply. Wow.. What the cluck?

Easy to modify swingarm. Or what do the call it over there a swinging yoke or something like that.
