Ordered some new aluminium rims today.
Front will be 18" x 2.15" laced up to Harley hub re-using the existing chromed spokes from the 19" rim with a washer under the nipple.
Rear will be 18" x 3.0" laced up to the Honda hub re-using the old Honda spokes which will be re-chromed.
Both will be anodised black. At this stage I will not be divulging the cost of the 2 hubs because I haven't yet managed to fully recover from the shock. Easily the biggest expense so far. Not sure what tyres I'll be using but plenty of time to worry about that.
Meanwhile, first mock up of the engine all put together.
Hopefully will have it properly bolted together this weekend.
