Waiting on some graphite powder to make a mold for the air box. In the meantime, let’s build some spoke wheels. Running high shoulder rims, with a Borrani back and Akront front.
In the pic is the rear wheel complete, but the front is a 17” wheel from another build to test fit as a roller until I get the 19” rim. The TL front end with GL hub, YZF600r rotors and GS500 Tokico calipers is my favorite way to do a USD swap on vintage rides.
To make it happen, I need the hub to fit a 17mm axle. Stock GL is 15mm. I bore the hub to 47mm, since the world doesn’t make 42mm x 17mm x 14mm bearings. They do makes lots with a 47mm OD. I also have to bore the bearing retainer tube to 17mm ID and flatten out the tabs in the clips to manage the new bore.
