As promised the rear wheel mod.
I wanted to use a 3 spoke to match the front.
After looking at 3 spokes with a drive on the right i picked a ST1100 non ABS rear wheel.
Attached a series of pics. I think most of you get the idea of whats involved getting things to fit.
And...... beverages consumed
then go see a buddy with a special lathe
to end up with a rim with one bearing holder
and then after a lot of cutting an grinding more result
My favorite tools
and the hole saw. I use the casted pillars in the "new" hub as a guide.
Now to mate the original hub to the new wheel i made this adapter.
small mods to make the adapter with without a hammer.
prep work for welding by my 3 year old daughter
The hub now fits in the wheel. Looks easy peasy doesn't it.
This picture set of the wheel took me more than 6 weeks due to joint inflammations. - the earlier mentioned odd ball. Full recovery is within reach.
After this I test fitted the wheel... it almost fits. Had to move the indentation in swing arm to make up for the different tire size.
I just dropped of the wheel to a befriended aluminum welder. The one thing i really had to outsource up till now.
Cant wait to get it back.
Think i will show the raw end result in a week or so
I will try and make regular updates
depending on progress.
