650 w/ 750b rear wheel swap

11 Apr 2008 11:26

I removed my mags on the 650 and I am going for the retro look with spokes but with disc brakes. I got a 750b wheel, cut the spokes out, replaced with buchanon spokes,and installed a 3" dropped center rim. Now I need the cush drive assy and an axle for a disc brake spoked rear wheel from a 750b. The 650 mag cush drives won't fit. Can't find one around here. I'm freaking because my wheel is built up and now I can't install. What other models have the same parts? Thanks

Thank you for the quick reply, I am heading to the wrecking yard now......I already have more money in the front and rear wheels than the rest of the bike. I don't know if I will ever do this swap again.

You do know the 750B has a larger rear axle than the 650, right?

The 750B has a 20mm rear axle diameter.

I believe I have a spare cush drive and axle here somewhere.

Thanx for the reply, I know the axle is bigger. That is not a problem. It is just finding the parts. If you have some stuff around, let me know how much you want for it. I will put some pics of the bike up today around noon my time. Again, thanx for your time.
