I'm a wee beginner at observation HE- I'm trying to gravitate towards an apprentice version of a Grand Master Oddjob.

I need a little help guys, I have a nos front rim to build the wheel up, but the rear wheel rim is slightly rusty and I need to get it rechromed or replaced so it would help to know the size....

Thanks Hubert

Assuming it's an original the wheel diameter & rim size is usually stamped on the rim near the shoulder where the spokes fit - it's probably listed in the parts book as well. Took me a few wheel rotations to find mine that were slightly wider than the originals on my 500.

[Honda enthusiast]

Thanks Ted, I'll go and have a look for the stamping...I'm probably going to get it rechromed at Prestige Plating eventually...

Cheers Hubert

From memory it's a 17" X 2.25 rim ... It will be about £200 to have Prestige re-chrome it.

[Honda enthusiast]

Cheers for that Ash, I'll get it rechromed by Prestige as I am very pleased  with the quality and they stick to what they say timescales wise. Replacing with a pattern one is less desirable. The bikes very original and that will suit it well.

A new year and a happy start with putting the K7 together...Ann and I lifted the frame over the engine which was on its left side and dropped the bottom long bolts in, yesterday..

And I fitted the bronze swing arm bushes, drawing them in with a M10 threaded rod and two heavy washers....fitted the swing arm but it needs taking off again as I forgot to thread the endless chain through.
It's a 630 will it stress the output shaft , should I go for a 530 setup

Some very nice work going on there! Great time of year for bike building! Ready for the summer?

[Honda enthusiast]

I'm aiming to have it built up by April end, Johnny.
An hour or two a day should see it progressing well

[McCabe-Thiele (Ted)]

That's great progress, you either live on the Gulf Stream or have a heated work space.👍👍👍
