I'm afraid that is the normal service from DK, although once I did buy something that was good and the right price (just the one thing though)

If I were to revert back to wire spokes, can anyone tell me what hubs are likely to be a good choice to use ? (so I can look out for some auto jumble stuff)
Thanks

I've just had a look at the wheels and I would say that they are both definitely fronts, front discs are spaced to match the discs, rear disc has a separate carrier with the required bolt pattern, Sprocket carrier must have been a two piece aluminium item with the larger of the two being missing, the carrier didn't have any bearings in it and just sat on two nylon sleeves that in turn sat on the spindle. ( It's a guess as it's not there)

I looked up some Laverda wheels and they are very similar, I'll do some further digging..

Thanks for the additional information, every bit helps, the rear brake does look to be a bit of a bodge and I may either make it good or revert to drum rear.

Excellent........I've raced at Darley myself in the ( I think it was) Derby Phoenix cup. Suzuki X7 and Suzuki SP370, over ten years ago now though. I always felt that one of the Superdream variations would give them a run for their money as the bike can be quite fast once you've upped the cc to compensate for the weight.

At the time there wasn't a choice, the bike was rescued from the back of a parts shop and looked like it would do a turn, engine is basically 450DX top grafted on to a 250 bottom end with oil way mods etc, bike is now sold but still running and beating a few other bikes along the way.

Just for interests sake here's a pic of our CB400/450N that I sprint raced in 2010, the bike managed a 14.2 with me on board but with my (much) lighter mate riding, it got into the 13's

I'm pretty sure it was Jock Kerr that did the conversion to 250, and I'm also quite sure it was here in Hertford as well..........I'm still trying to think of where it was as my memory isn't that good today.

I live in hope......I'll continue to gather info until I start the re-furb, probably in 2015.
Thanks to all that have helped so far.........

Here's a pic of the seat and tank unit. Clearly inspired by the CB900f's etc, which sort of confirms that it's been retro fitted.  Thanks for the help so far Eric

The wheels look like they could be a pair of fronts, the sprocket looks like it should have bolted to a thicker adapter plate rather than the one that's fitted, or it it could possibly have had a second plate attached to the first?.............who knows, I don't.
Thanks again
Eric
