17” Front wheel

#1

Post by Olyclo »

Are there any 17” or 18” spoked wheels from other models would fit a 77 gl1000?

Doing a cafe build and the standard 19” wheel just looks too big!

Not that I’m aware of, but since it’s a cafe, not stock, you could put 1100 forks, triples and down, which I believe is an 18” or a 1200 triples and down, which is 16” I believe. The 1200 allows a wider tire.

Your other option is to respoke with a rim diameter and width of your choice as many have done. See Octane, HOTT or Sunnbobb’s posts to name a few.
Whatever I suggest here should be given ample time for a moderator to delicately correct. I apologize in advance.
