Hello Sci R, Love that back rim. I am buying a cheap chrome rim, same size. 18" x 5.75" for a Z1-KZ drum brake hub.
What is the tyre size you have in pic? 180-200?
And can you measure the total width of tyre edge to edge please.
Going to build a mild steel rectangular swingarm. Want to build it tight. Just enough to fit a 180 tyre.
CC! Harley rim! And a product of your Home Country!!
Thank You!
