Wheels/Tires between a 450 and a 750

[UncleMike]

Someone once told me that there were a lot of similarities between the 450 and 750. Any chance they could swap wheels?

[SqDancerLynn1]

YES

[UncleMike]

You've just made me a very happy man.

How about converting the rear drum on the 450 so I can utilize the disc on the 750 wheel.

[SqDancerLynn1]

You need to make changes to use the disk. Would have to make a mount for the disk rear master cyl, change the brake pivot arm & make bracket for the torque arm for the rear calaper. It's easier if you have a bike to get the parts off & take measurements

[UncleMike]

Would I be able to put the drum from the 450 wheel onto the 750 wheel more easily?

[SqDancerLynn1]

Are they both wire wheels??

[UncleMike]

No, both mag.

[gspaul]

No chance of that then!.........Disk brake it is!

[UncleMike]

What's the difference?

[gspaul]

The drum is cast into the 450 wheel,not the 750.
I'm not saying it can't be done, just that it would take a great deal of money, and a new casting to be made.

[UncleMike]

Ah. Gotcha. I've got another spoke wheel with a drum on it.
