Hi guys,
Here's a problem that I need to resolve before I can continue with my Sixties Style Kay Cafe Racer. It MUST have wire spoked / alloy rimmed wheels to look correct [ IMO].
I have a Mono K100RS and a Para K1100RS as donors - don't mind which one I use.
I have bought an R1100GS front wheel which is arriving this week - hopefully I can use that.
Any ideas on a rear? I guess the Mystic wheels will fit, but they are like Hen's teeth and very expensive anyway. Ideally I need a wheel that has the disc attached to the bevel drive so I can use my existing assembly. Any ideas if an R1100GS will fit?
Then I've just got to ditch that alien spoke attachment for a traditionally laced flanged alloy rim and I'm somewhere near.
All input welcome.
