Anything about like Astralites or Dymags etc etc.
Looking to replace the standard skiny 18/19 inch wheels on the J1 with something a bit less agricultural.
May have a rear astralite but its a bit wide for my liking so maybe just a front to go with it.
Ideal i guess would be 3.5 inch 18 rear and 2.5 inch 18 front but not set in stone.

I have fitted a complete ZR750 Zephyr front end to my 'J' which went straight in. The only mod was to grind of the steering lock lug on the frame.

The front and rear wheels from a ZR750 Zephyr are 3 spoke, hollow, look a bit like Dymags, are a lot lighter than the standard wheels and cost peanuts to pick up nowadays.

The wheel sizes are 17" inch front and bizarrely 18" inch rear.
I've just had mine powder coated in "Black Sparkle" and fitted a pair of Avons to them, 120 to the front and a 150 to the rear. They look mega!
If you want me to take pics of mine let me know.

Regs, Will

Maybe pictures as an update to you're project thread might be the best way Will thanks.
