The wheel looks good, can't wait to see it on the bike!

Interesting about the fuel project. Will be following that too with great interest.

Very nice work on the wheel. Ambitious and interesting that you are doing FI on the bike…look forward to seeing what you can share on that journey!

Slow progress. I bought an empty hub and all the little parts are priced like they are made of gold. So I make all the collars etc.

It looks very promising! Can't wait to see the result with tires and everything on the bike. Slow progress sucks for curious forum members... 😄

Started making a trigger wheel. Will be a 24 tooth wheel. Next is to mark and drill holes for small magnets. But I need to get the hall sensor so I know where to put the magnets.

Rear wheel looks great in there!
What's your plans for the front? Swapping forks and brakes out or doing some custom mods to adapt a hub?

I have a cb750 hub from a -78 (I think). I’ll keep my forks. Installed gold valves recently.
I did some measurments and it’s a 6x80mm bolt circle. After som searching I found that fzr600 rotors should fit. The dream would be Ducati 1000 Sport classic Brembo calipers. Very thin but expensive. Probably go with cbr600 calipers with some adapter plates.

Groovy!
If the CBR rotors give you issues, I can hook you up with Drilled & Thinned CB rotors.

Have done a prototype for a new trigger cover. Not shure if I should try and cast in aluminium or make one in carbon. Will have to make a new version where sensor is rotated 180 degrees.

I take it you are making that because the new trigger wheel requires more clearance then the stock cover provides?
Given the choice between aluminum or carbon, I'm thinking the aluminum could likely handle more abuse in the event of a tip-over.

Rear wheel finished. It will look nice on the road.

Looks perfect! Very excited to see how it will transform the look of the bike.

So hard to work during winter. Space is very limited.. Anyway! Have to make some new spacers to center the 750 hub. 6,5mm off center.

I think I’ll only do preparation for my efi conversion this spring/summer. Really want to do some riding. New wheels will be my priority next month.

Almost back on wheels again, it's looking very nice!

Hope you are having a good summer!

How are things moving along for you, with the spoked wheels? Can't wait to see a picture when it's back on wheels again. I'm very curious to see how it affects overall visual impression.
