Digging deeper in to my CB550 build it seems I have a 18" front wheel. I believe it should be 19" ?

So the question is where could this 18" wheel come from and what's the best option to get a 19" rim and new spokes?

AshimotoK0:
If it's 18" chances are that the hub will have 4 disc mounting  holes (like on the CB400F , CB250/360G5) and not 6 as used on the 19" 500 and 750s. Also 19" has 40 spokes and 18" usually 36. Best thing is to sell your 18" to fund a proper 19" wheel.
DK often have really nice wheels with good chrome & decent spokes. 750 wheel will fit unless it's off an early K0 or K7 but disc is different.

You could make a cheeky offer on this:-

TezzerTel:
OK thanks

I definitely have 40 spokes I counted them not sure on the amount of disk bolts though I think there is 6 but will check later

Bryanj:
If its the correct hub and disc Dave Slver does different grades of rimand spoke kits

I might go for these when I’ve finished restoring the rest of my 550:
