Double flange hub for CB500 with Fork conversion
« on: January 08, 2016, 09:06:08 AM »
Hi guys,

I need a bit of help.. I'm working on a fork conversion in my CB500 which in itself will get sorted. I will get a USD fork from a CBR1000RR installed which means that I'm looking for a suitable hub/rim.

The front axle will be a standard CBR item, so 25mm. It will have the twin disc set-up with the radial CBR brakes, but I want to have a spoked front wheel for better looks. Any thoughts on a suitable front wheel/hub that will allow this set-up?

I'm trying to find a suitable solution that won't burst my bank account so any input would be appreciated!

Scrounge around a scrapyard or put up dimentions required and these of us with spare front wheels can pillage the shed, I think bmw r80 wheels might be somewhere near in being spoked, twin disked and similar diameters of disk from memory.
Got a 500/4 with rust and a sidecar and loadsa bits. nice and original and been round the clock
