First an introduction. I'm from southern British Columbia, retired and have been around motorcycles for about 20 years. Now that doesn't mean I know anything more than the basics. This chopping and bobbing is all new. I have aquired 2 bikes a 1978 xs400 with cast 18" wheels front and back and discs fr. and rear.The other is a 1980 18"cast with disc on front and 16" cast with drum on rear. Both kind of rough. I'm going to try for a soft tail bobber. The 1978 runs the 1980 has sat for 18 years. I'm hoping the members here can help me through this project. Whew, long winded eh.
The question today is my cast wheels. I'm going to do up the 1980 that means 18" front with disc and 16" rear with drum. Any comments on that combination? leave it or change. The other 1/2 of the question is has any one been powder coating these rims? What are the other options?
Greetings to all and thanks in advance.
