KX USD + KZ650 wheel x 2 = this

KZ650 16x3 rim mounted to KX USD forks. I have bought another such wheel off e-bay to mount to the back as originally planned. Aluminium rims painted red, hot-rod style. This is the result. Tyre options are 130 or 150 wide rear and 110 or 120 wide front in Bridgestone BT45s. Black rims look pretty 'tough', really monochromatic.

Vented drum-brake cover plate

As I am using a rear wheel on the front the cush-drive area that is normally covered will be exposed (bottom pic). It looks quite ugly as has all the casting marks etc left in as you would not normally see them with the cush-drive in place. So I am going to make a brake cover plate with an air-scoop like classic racing motorcycles running large diameter drum brakes (top pic). I have already bought a new Enfield brake plate ($15 incluing postage) as a starting point. Stay tuned for more concepts.
