pepperami Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 heres the thing! my xs400 bitsa has ally wheels at the moment and they are fine.... But i want to convert it to wire spoked wheels. If i coulds find some from another XS that would be great... But i have more chance of putting my own foot in my ear than i have finding XS wire spoked wheels!!! so i plan to look elsewhere (breakers yards), but what i would like to know is do any of you lot out there know what other bikes might have wire spoked wheels that could be compatible/match. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CadXS Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Where do you live mate? In the UK the XS250 came with spoked wheels (drum rear and tls front) and they come up on ebay from time to time. There is also a huge market for XS's in Germany and there is normally something on German ebay as well. A lot of the time you will want to replace the spokes and maybe the rims, so save weight in postage by getting the seller to chop out the hubs and send those only.

Moderator drewpy Posted December 11, 2009 Moderator Share Posted December 11, 2009 there's an xs250 on ebay and he has 2 sets of wheels. One set is spoked. email him and pay what he asks for here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepperami Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 at first i thought F*!k that, my bike can only be worth £200 max and i`m not paying £499 for another pile of junk just to get some wire spoked wheels..... so i am going to e-mail him and see if he wants to sell the wheels seperately. thank you for the pointer Mr D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CadXS Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Pepperami, I have a front end and rear wheel from a XS250C that has a twin leading shoe front and drum rear spoked wheels. I bought them for my XS400 project but I've since had a change of heart (I think?)and I'm going with the mags. If you are interested let me know... All the best Caddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
