Wheel Question

[detrailers]

It's ok I got a great deal on it.
So from what I've learned from you guys (thank you) its forks and possibly swingarm from another bike, aftermarket wheels. Bike has BIG from brakes and an aluminum triple tree.
Talked to speedhut today, dead end, have to buy one of their speedos and nothing really matches.

Im pulling the wheel tonight and my only other hope is that I can piece together a speedo gear and the teeth to spin it - and that it fits the fork - I'm going to take some more pics tonight and will post and maybe you guys can help me figure out what forks these are and what manufacturer the wheels are.

My last option would be to swap back the front end to stock RD/RZ and go RZ wheels but that is a ton of work I'd rather not do

Anyone know what forks, swing, brakes and wheels these are lmk. Are these stock rotors? They seem big

HOLT COW Marvic magnesium replica wheels on this bike, $$$$$$

So I guess the question is if I can get a speedo drive to work with the Marvics

You may want to re read that....
MORRIS wheels, found on '80s Kawis and Triumphs and in this case racers. No where near as light as Marvics... which were made of tinfoil.
And I don't know that I would want 40 year old magnesium wheels on the street

So OP could get a set of stock KZ900/1000 wheels that look the same, that has a speedo drive. I don't know how easy it will be to find a 18" front, I think most were 19".
The triump morris wheels were odd sizes, 19 front, 16 rear.

They are not 40 y/o wheels, they are Morris replicas made by Marvic. Whoever wrote that ad made it seem like they were OG Morris wheels.


I pulled the front and absolutely no provision for a speedo but MAN! they wheels are SUPER LIGHT!!

I am just going to live with no speedo for now I guess. No real sensible option at this point. From what I'm seeing these wheels are $$$$ and trading straight across for RZ wheels would be self rip off lol

Neat find.
I have my original RZ wheels (under the basement stairs). Boat anchors but this stuff is vintage now - it's all taken on its own form of "cool".
Enjoy it.

Ya dude, my offer was for nearly free wheels. I don't want your whatever those are.

The lower triple has a scary gap on the outside. Those forks look like stock RZ ones but there are some that know better than me.

From what I'm seeing these wheels are $1000 each or more...you want them!

I'll check that gap out, thanks for seeing that. I think that article said TZ triple clamp?

P.s. I might be interested on those wheels, where are you located...

Remind us again why an electronic speedo won't work for you?

Ten years (or more) ago I built a set of supermoto 17"s for my TDR250 using the stock hubs.

Of course, the stock speedo was waay off because the wheel circumference was way different.

I just bought a cheap Sigma bicycle speedo off ebay for like $20 and stuck it to the glass lens of the stock speedo with velcro. It has been working perfectly ever since. Maybe it's not the most graceful option but it was super cheap and install took less than 30 minutes. Good up to 200mph, and keeps track of current speed, top speed, odo, trip odo, etc.

I did the same with my last build.
Eventually got the R1 cluster working but until then the bike speedo did the trick.

Back before he realized he had some valuable trick parts and was still telling us the bike was going back on eBay he said he liked the look of the stock speedo.

Find an alternative (like the GPS or electronic speedo) if you want to keep the wheels on there or go back to stockers. You don't get it both ways.

I just want to say that those look like TZ triple clamps to someone who has a set of TZ triple clamps. 1983 K model 250.

Good question..... As far as wheels (rims) go. I'm only speculating that they may be (stock) air-cooled 76-79 Yamaha 5 spoke RD400 wheels. But they could be (Morris) Mags...they do look similar.
As far as the rotors...the curved accents lead me toward 82 Rd 250-350LC ? w custom drilled disks?

That's all I got..

Love the long skinny pipes on that bike.
