Why are wire wheels for hard to get???

[OzJavelin]

I've just had the third GS750 snatched from under me on EPay (Australia). First one went for way too much for parts, second one had another bidder who was DETERMINED to get it and last one just went while I was checking freight but before I paid the guy!!?? (the quick and the dead). All I want are the wire wheels for my '78 (mags) ..

Anyone in Australia know where I can get a set of wires for a GS750?

You can try finding hubs from similar bike of the same size in different spoke counts. The zukis used a 36 while most others used a 40. $0 will be easier to find both hubs and rims. The most you will need to do is order wheel bearings the fit your axle and the hubs bearing OD. Its an easy swap. Most any shop that sells bearings can find the replacements. In most cases, it will an off the shelf part number. Just give them the hubs bearing OD and the axle OD and they can match it.

I've found a set of wires for my Z650 so that might have to satisfy my wire wheel fetish ..

Someone on here is selling a set for $100 thats a bargain. Try and get the alloy rim models as u can lace the rear on the front and only buy a rear rim. But ure looking at big dollars to do up a nice set. $1000 easily if u want big rim, stainlees spokes and good tyres. Use 18 in rims looks way more correct. look at bros Kat looks wierd with 17's
