I've started a project, and as I have a lot of questions, I've decided to start my own thread. The bike has now been taken apart, and has only the whels and engine on. Will post pictures as I mount new parts back on.
First task is: gather the parts to convert to spoke wheels. The bike now has the original cast wheels. I have a set of '79 brake calipers on the way as I've read in another post that I need those to get the clearing needed on the inside. I've dicided to go with original forks for now, as I want to get the bike on the road by spring, and there is alot of other things to do. I've found a front wheel on ebay that I hope will be a direct replacement ( I will fit aftermarket outer rim and keep the spokes and hub) http://www.ebay.com/itm/181902877339...witem=&vxp=mtr . I'm also looking for a rear wheel with spokes to replace the one I have. Is that a direct replacement? I know the brake rotor in these are bigger, but can I use the brake rotor I have on now and do i need something else to do the swap? I will fit a wider (4.25") outer rim on the rear wheel.
