Mag Wheels on Z900-A4

#1 PostAuthor: duckman » Sat Sep 20, 2008 8:32 am

I want to fit some mag wheels (ie non spoke) on my Z900-A4 (sacrilege, I know). Can anyone help with items that might fit. I'd like to retain the single front disk and rear drum brakes plus my original spindles. Hopefully also keep my current spacers. Do Z650 or Z550 wheels from the 70s work, or any other suggestions. I assume that Im really only looking at Kawa wheels? Anything else I need to be wary of? TIA

Dave,

Lesters would be brill but aren't they a bit hard to come by/expensive second hand?

Cheers

Yes, unless I get lucky and can find some cheap Lesters somewhere, I'm really looking at other options.

I went to see a Z550 last week but the wheel spindles are not right. I notice the F series of Z650 have drum rear brakes and am hoping I might find some of these to fit. Anyone know if the wheel spindles from Z650 F wheels are the same size as Z900?
