Honda spoke hubs??

[BigKev]

So, does anyone know of a website where I can find honda hubs? I want to lace up a set of wire wheels for my '81 CB750. It currently has the stock wheels which are fine for now. Ultimately in my opinion wire wheels look better. Thats what I ran on my Harley.

Anyway, back on track, I have not decided yet but I have the single front drum rear setup now; on a parts bike I have the dual fronts disc rear. I most likely will add the disc rear to my bike but have not decided on the front yet.

Does anyone know where to find Honda hubs that are single or dual fronts and disc rear?

I plan on running 18" wheels front and rear, I know the wheel/tire size affects the speedo. If I run 120/90R18 tires there is only about 1/2 to 1/8th of an inch difference in total height. I am not 100% if the bikes original front tire was 110/90R19 or 100/90/R19 so thats why I have a variable to the total height of wheel and tire.

P.s. I have a lineup on spokes/nipples/rims. Just need hubs. Since I am deployed I cannot go and measure the actual wheels axle width so I cannot find an aftermarket hub to match.

Ok, so I have a plan.

I am thinking I can get an early model (SOHC) style wheel from ebay. This hub has bolt holes that go all the way through. From the pictures I have viewed I see no reason why I would not be able to run two discs on this puppy. I saw somewhere on a random internet search where a guy did this to his SOHC bike.

Also, I was thinking, an early cb350 front hub may be the ticket to run rear disc out back. This hub has a 4 bolt pattern style, from the pictures again I gather these bolt holes go all the way through. I imagine I can run any 4 bolt sprocket on it however I do not know the exact bolt pattern. Then I through a 350 disc on. All I will have to do is figure out the correct spacing to put the sprocket and brake disc in the correct place with the wheel centered.

Well, hopefully someone may know some specifics of a couple of these parts before I go ahead and take the plunge on ebay. The used hubs/wheels can be found fairly cheap there but new would be better.

CB350 disc hub will be too small for rear, particularly on a 750 (early CB350 had front drum brake)
You would be better off getting a Harley front hub to use on rear (it's 40 hole as well, 350 is 36 hole)
I've got couple of alloy HD hubs, I was going to use one on my XS650 but now going different direction with that)
one is only drilled one side so you could drill whatever bolt pattern you want (and it will be cheaper than the $110.00+ you usually see them go for)
Same as this one but not painted

Thanks crazypj, I didnt even think of using a Harley hub. I had a sportster with 40 spoke wheels on it and that would have worked perfect, sold it because I wanted to "build my own bike" and the honda cb's are the perfect match for me.
