Thanks for your comment, much appreciated !
I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to find some Honda wheels, plenty of 17" rims available but not all are suitable, these wheels are off a Yamaha, OK for the front with spindle bearings, but I can't see how I could bolt a hub into them. I have ended up ordering some Honda clones from China for the rear, they won't match the fronts but I don't think anyone will notice or care, I'm going to put big fake drum brakes on which should disguise the difference.
The whole build so far has been a wonderful exercise in stretching the brain and learning new skills. More ...Reported -
