I like its’ bantam weight and 70’s pro street chopper look. I have been looking everywhere for a 40 spoke 18×4.25 Excel rim chromed or polished with a drum set up. Where’d you find it?

I'm going to look into if swing arms differ from year to year. There's something on Omar's site that touches on this. My email address is brettmavrik777@yahoo.com. I just got my tank and seat in the mail. I'm ready to chop! Hey, just got back from out of town. I’m going to look into if swing arms differ from year to year.

Cannot always rely on calculations for actual measurements. I've found from one brand to the other considerable differences, so be cautious. As for the rear wheel, yes. I'm going to use the 4.25" rim. I believe the rim is around $225.00, the stainless spokes and nipples around $100.00 and lacing and truing is an addition $100.00. It's expensive! When you add a $200.00 tire your at $625.00!! Then add the disc brake kit and a 650 front hub throw in another $400.00 and Wah-la, over a $1000.00. With the 3" extended swingarm my tire has about 3/16" clearance on ea. side and the chain is only 1/16" off the tire using a 3/16" spacer at the rear and front sprockets. I tried mountig the 140 tire before I extended the swingarm and it would not even go in far enough to slide the stock axle through it. I will try to send you a close up pic. of the clearance issues if you would e-mail me your e-mail address. John Brett
