    I have forgotten most of my experience with 750/850 wheels but I do remember that I had to check if the offset of both triple and 1100 wheels were the same. The triple wheel is more narrow so it would make sense that the offset is different on both wheels.
    XS1100 3X0 '82 restomod, 2H9 '78 chain drive racer, 3H3 '79 customized.
    MV Agusta Brutale 910R '06.
    Triumph 1200 Speed Trophy '91, Triumph 1200 '93.
    Z1 '73 restomod, Z1A '74 yellow/green, KZ900 A4 '76 green.
    Yamaha MT-09 Tracer '15 grey.
    Kawasaki Z1300 DFI '84 modified, red.

      Well, my project has kind of evolved as projects do. I am looking into having a custom 15" to fit a car tire wheel fabricated using the stock hub as shown with this BMW wheel.

        My question is about the stock cush drive. The rubber inserts. Has anyone ever removed and replaced these? Are they vulcanized? They would need to be removed (ideally) in order to take the heat that welding will generate.

            I found this on the internet years ago from Australia if I remember correctly.

                  Looks like the tread is 6.5 inches wide. 25.4 inches tall. I wonder if that width will fit inside the swing arm.

                    Boy, the Excelsior tire is pretty tight. I think the 6.5 inches might have more width at the sidewall.
