RD350 rear wheel question

[elvisrock]

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know if an 18" RD350 drum brake rear wheel will fit on an XS400, the axle diameter is apparently the same but will the sprockets line up ok?

Thanks in advance.

not sure about the 350, I know the rd400E fits as the RD boys pinch the xs250 spoke wheels

In for a penny, in for a poun., I've bought it so wil let you know when it arrives.

Says it's the same wheel used on the 78/9 XS400 here

Thanks for the info everyone.

Does anyone know how to identify exactly what I've bought? A few parts are missing (ebay hey) such as the brake hub and sprocket hub, and does anyone know how I can identify these parts by part number as I don't know the year of the bike the wheel came off.

I've also started to channel the CB175 tank so I sits lower and neater over the backbones and making it able to go forward a little.

thanks in advance for looking.

Thought I'd share a few photo's of how my bike is looking with the RD350 wheel. I need to look in to whether the swingarm will fit too as the wheel is not a straight swap. The photos include different tail end options too. Let me know what you think, thanks.
