Are there any companies that make aftermarket shaft wheels? If so, please post, and post their links!

Nothing off the shelf,

So custom wheels is really my only route? Does anyone recommend any companies on the east coast?

The shaft frame is very wide at the swingarm, you could do a chain conversion, put a modern swingarm in there and widen your choice of wheels.

I've seen a few conversions, but I don't want to go that route. I want to keep it a shaft if ($$$$) possible.

You might be able to fit a 140 tire on a st but that will be it.
Any wider will rub the driveshaft tube.

I have a 130/90/17 on it now. I think my next tire size will be a 140/80/17. I hope it will fit. The original 90 series tire is tall. I want to go a little shorter, and wider.

One day I want to have a set of spoke wheels, custom made. That's why I was asking. I like the older look of spokes. Mags, make a KZ look like a old bike with new wheels. Not a fan of that look.

I'm re-hashing this thread to Thank Nebr_ Rex! He's right! Ima have to look into swapping to a chain and different swing arm. Any ideas on swingarms? Aftermarket, or off a different bike? Any successes or failures?
