I got a 76' CB550. Here's my questions;
I'm looking to make the CB550 a track/replica racer type bike. I want modern rubber on it. I have a rear rim from a 79/80'(ish) CB650. I just have the rim. It's a 40 spoke original rim.
The size stamped on the rim is MT2.50X17 18 90 --29 0915. With shorter spokes (perhaps from Buchanan) could this rim be laced to my front hub? Also, would it be possible to get a die and cut threads further down on the spokes and cut off the extra length?
Now, back to the rim. What tire fits on that rim? Does the 120/70 front sport bike tire fit?
Or, are these questions I should ask Buchanans?
