I'd steer well clear if you want to stop.

They look great but by the time you buy the plate, shoes and all the other bits it's going to be an expensive conversion for something that doesn't perform well.

all of the twin shock wheels use taper roller bearings so need to be shimmed up correctly if you want to avoid the White line shimmy that a lot suffer from. You'll need to take this into account when you are working with wheels.

Jake, the guy selling that wheel, is a top bloke and can be trusted completely. I've been buying stuff from him for years and even bought a complete RT from him years ago.

once again thanks rob

 

[jackassdave]

he has got a set of cast wheels but i am not sure what fits the bike as it is a bitsa ,or doesnt that matter i think the rear end is from a r90 ?

 

[Rob Farmer]

It doesn't matter. The r90 swinging arm is the same as the other bikes upto 1980.

your swinging arm and subframe are from a 79 100rs. It's the bevel box and forks that came off an r90.
