More of a flat tracker than a street fighter, remember seeing it for sale sometime ago on ebay was up for a considerable sum iirc

There are many other things to do first but I really am interested in this.

We have a couple of wheel builders nearby and I will check it out.

Can't help thinking that there will be a set from another bike that can fit and I see this as the most cost effective option should I choose to go down this road.

That's my mates bike. He didn't do it he just bought it from them. Looks good. Back end isn't that nice and it overheats a bit but pretty cool.

Can your mate take some detailed pics?

Interested in how wide the hubs are and what spacers look like both front and rear.

USD front end and wire wheels would look great and finish my bike(famous last words)
