yamaha wheel identification help

[miks15]

Hi guys,

I brought a project bike a while a go which came with a set of yamaha wheels. I was told the wheel were off an XS of some kind. Hvaing looked around, i believe the front wheel is from an XS400 so no problem there. I assumed then that the rear would be from a xs400 as well, but having looked around it doesnt seem to match any. The sprocket mounting is completely different and it uses a different type of cush drive. I have attached a couple of photos of the wheel and the cush drive, its an 18inch wheel with a drum brake. Anyone know what its off?

Cheers

I'd guess an SR?

SR's mostly had disc brakes in NA, if I'm correct.

Looks pretty close to me!

I don't have the wheel at the minute, its off getting blasting so can't check the number, none of the photos I have show all the number. Will confirm with the number when i get it back later this week. Cheers guys!
