Which sohc has a 160 by18 front wheel?
« on: March 25, 2006, 05:22:01 PM »
Hya folks, just got a load of stuff in a deal included was a 160 by 18 front wheel, that has a disc that is held on by four bolts with the speedo drive on the right hand side. and the disc on the left, its sort of like a baby cb750 wheel!  I hazard a guess at cb400 four??
Anyone please....

My 400/4 has a 100/90/18 on it.  Only has a 110 on the rear.  That would be huge on the front of that bike.  That's pretty huge for the front of any bike.  I don't even think a GoldWing has a 160 on the front.   ??? ???

That is a fat wheel, it would have to be off a Harley ?
Ducati Monster is only a 120/60x17 and Ithought that has a large footprint

imperial measurement ???
CB 650 has a 3.50 x 19 front and it's not large, 1.6 would be very skinny

If its 1.60-18 then it is thin. The 350f is 3.00-18.

The 350-4 and 400F have 1.60x18 front rims. I think the 350/360 twins do as well, the models with disc brakes use identical calipers anyway so such a wheel assembly might be off a twin.

The only 4 with an 18 inch stock rim was a 400 and that also had 4 bolts on the disc rotor

cb400f's have a 3.00 x 18 on the front, at least that is the tire size.  3.5 on the back.

The 350-4 and 400F both use 18 inch rims, 1.60 front and 1.85 rear. These bikes have 36 spoke wheels. The rotors attach with 4 bolts and the speedo drive is on the right.

Thanks Bodi, that seems to have nailed it for me! cheers!!
It seems that people are getting confused with "tyre size" and the numbers that are actually PRINTED on the RIM next to or around the valve hole.....
These wheels came to me with some stuff in a deal, and were MEANT to be cb750, which they are definately NOt. The book size for the rime on the front of cb750 sohc's says 3.25 on most of the models, so i knew they must be off something smaller, but i dont have any smaller bikes to have looked at, so a BIG thanks........

WM1 rim, 1.60X18. Same as on the CB350 twin, CB360 twin, CB400F (no experience with 350f) four bol rotor mounting. If its 6 bolt someone has changed rim.

Don't confuse tyre size with rim size! 1.60 x 18 rim is a standard wm1 rim ie. the width of the rim is 1.6" and the diameter is 18". The correct tyre for this rim is 3.00 x 18 according to the makers tables. This rim is used onthe CB400f and many other smaller bikes.
