  • Has anyone updated wheels?

    I am thinking about changing the wheels on my 79xs1100S. I may replace them or paint them, just wanting to do something different. I was wondering if anyone had pictures of updated wheel setups. Also did you change wheels or whole front end. Thanks I look forward to seeing your pictures.

    The wheels from the XS650 through the XS1100 front will all interchange. Some of the XJ wheels will also fit. Just look at the axle size on them. The rear is a LOT harder because of the shaft drive, but has been done once or twice. Check a few of the bobber builds, IIRC one went to spokes, and another used "modern" wheels of a newer model, but I don't remember which one.

      I was kind of wanting to go with spokes on the front but I wanted to see what others had used and also maybe get some ideas from other pictures.
