Title: Rear wheel conversion
Post by KINGPRAWN on 02.10.13 at 14:04:55

I've seen a couple of cafe racers with a  rear shaft drive wheel fitted to the front with a single disc.... Anybody know how this is done????

Hi,


There are sets for sale by a guy called `Matt`on Dotheton. He is the topicstarter of this build: http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=10678.0

I ordered it a few years ago and it fitte very well. but now I sold the complete front end to another builder.
You also (of course)  have to `redo` your rear to front wheel by some grinding and drilling.......few years ago it was $120.00 including postage from the US to the Netherlands where I live. Can imagine prices have gone up.
The whole set includes bearings a blinding disk for the old drum brake hole and bolts and a hub to place your original brake disk, fitted very well!

You can use my name to lay first contact, but i guess not necessary..

Greetings from Holland :)
