I prefer to upsize the rims, 2.15 as fitted to the 750 gives more tyre support IMO.
Bryanj:
Build the wheels yourself its aint difficult just time consuming, or bring em to gloucester when i have a free saturday(ho ho) and i will show you how. Need all the bearings and spindles in

Time I've got. You've convinced me to do it myself then 😂
I'll also look at 2.15 rims.
Where do you recommend on buying parts. I do plan on powder coating hub and rims. There's central-wheels, anywhere else?
Bryanj:
Depends on what quality you want,
Dave Silver does rims and spoke kits, Central Wheel will do various qualites of both, it all depends on your preference and depth of pocket. I did write a how to if i can find it again, the big problem to me is seeing people trying to use a dti for truing when Honda(and mot) say anything less than 3mm is OK
Oddjob:
Why powder coat the rims? if they were new they'd be nice and shiny, you'd really only powder coat poor condition ones. In which case just trawl eBay for 750 rims if you want 2.15 rims or 500/550 for 1.85 rims
