Check ebay and the local parts yards. There MUST be a LOT of used 650 parts available for a reasonable price.

Hi Bowtied,
which one? There's five different styles of XS650 front wheels:-
Drum/steel rim.
Disk/steel rim,
Disk/plain aluminum rim,
Disk/deep groove aluminum rim,
Disk/64 spoke steel rim.

Oops, clarification.

Hi Bowtied,
that's 5 styles of XS650 front wire wheels.
The XS650 only used one style of cast front wheel, it has 7 straight spokes and is identical to an XS11 front wheel.

i want the one with disc brakes. I'm not real picky as long as it matches or is pretty close to a harley spoke rim or something along those lines. I'm not quite sure what any of those look like. I was told that a xs650 spoke wheel was a direct bolt on to the xs1100. So whichever one will bolt on without little to no modifications is what i'm wanting. I would like to retain disc brakes on the front. And preferably the dual disc brake setup if at all possible. But yeah whichever one i can get my hands on that'll do that job is what i'm looking for.

Hi Bowtied,
OK then, any of the disk brake XS650 front wheels will bolt straight into any XS11 so we are down to four choices. I'd say the best visual match to a Harley wire wheel is the so-called bazillion spoke wheel. (steel rim, 64 spokes)
One caveat, early model XS650 wire wheels came with a two-piece brake disk that has a different depth dish to it. This disk has to be swapped out for an XS11 disk. Also, North American XS650s only had one disk but no worries, they are tapped for the disk bolts on both sides.
Tell you what, PM me your e-mail addy and I'll ask on the XS650 site if anyone has a front wire wheel to sell.
