Thanks for the info.
I had a nice wheelset before, I sold with a Harley project. It had an aluminum 12 spoke front, and a magnesium American Racing 12 spoke on back. I had real doubts about wether to powdercoat or not.. mainly due to the 400 dgree curing.. Sold the bike guy offers the wheels back years later, but had powdercoated.. I did not really want it coated, plus he wanted 800 for both.
Fast forward to now, I doubt I would powder a real mag, just dont trust the heat of curing.
The 18 x 4.5 was dragraced and is from an 85 GSXR. Cushdrive holder is dowelled into main wheel hub, and is worn.. the gluing makes sense as there is a sort of knurl there.. disc side is tight.
The dowels are a bit loose, I can oversize the holes and make a stepped dowel or drill a fresh pattern.. I am very impressed by the design and the fact that I can still redrill for a new pattern to bring it back to specs. It had a 7 inch wrinklewall tire on it (6.75 wide), I imagine it took quite a pounding.. The cush drive carrier is there but has cracks by the dowels, and the doughnuts part has a chunk missing on the side of 1. Will make a new one from 6061, it appears carrier may be aluminum, not magnesium?
I am not dead set on cush drive, Morris does not use them.. but will use it here as all the parts/pattern, are there. Also I dont dump the clutch on the line, I slip it first 50 feet.
Width wont be a problem , will build a swingarm, have 2 pces of 1.75 x 1.0 steel tubing, already milled for axle slots..
You have a TZ that is pretty cool, loved thge trtacker TZ that the guy from Powroll built.. Trackmaster frame.. we saw it in 09 at the Bonneville GP..
