Looks like a set of Lester wheels too, and incorporated drum brake rear plus twin disc front installed, Ken's favourite wheels
I was more interested in the turbo TBH Tim, seen a few done like that, rode a GS1000 with one on, just testing it to see if it was worth taking it in part ex. Pulling a wheelie at a ton when the turbo kicked in was interesting Also had a CBX1000, one of the first imported into the UK, he'd taken it down to Dixon Racing and had a turbo bolted on, on the way back up north it blew the head clean off the studs, snapped them all. Put a lovely big dent into the frame just above the engine, trashed the head and cams and I had to fix it. Took me a few weeks to do, lapping in 24 valves by hand was time consuming to say the least. Odd thing about Lester wheels, some are marked as tubeless and some aren't. My front for example is, it even has the raised sections inside the profile of the rim for bead retention, the rear isn't marked and doesn't have the raised bead things. Bought them as a set in the late or mid 70s from Knott Mill Kawasaki in Manchester, name from the past for those who live nearby. I intend to fit tubeless tyres on both when I do buy tyres. If need be I'll have the raised section welded onto the rear inner rim, it's just 2 bumps after all. And for those who are interested, the Mark1 Lester has a continuous groove in the outer rim, the Mark2 had them in dashes, about 5 inches long with about 2 inches between them. They went out of business before the Mark2 really started to sell, very rare to see any Mark2s.
