Hi I'm respoking my standard 18in rear wheel , I'm told I should have checked the offset before taking the old ones out, would anybody know the settings that I need to set the wheel at?

Regards Ian.

Ian,

The stock wheels are laced with no offset at all, i.e. the rim is centered on the hub, the spokes on both sides are all of the same length.

Hope that helps

Hi all, this is my first post.
The front wheel is laced with a offset to the right, and is most important
if you plan on using a duel disk setup, and very very tight if you plan on
a 18" front wheel. I have the specs if anyone needs them. (by right is
sitting on the bike)

seems to be lots of information on the difference in cush drive spacing between the 75' and 78' cb750F models, but what i need to know. I have a 75 CB750 supersport. I switched frames with a 77 model. i am still using the 75 motor and 75 wheels assemblies, but the chain line isn't right. do i just need to use the 77 cush drive, axle, and spacer even with the 75 motor. or do i need to change the motor spocket aswell. is there a difference?

Hi, I have a 1973 frame with a 1978ss swingarm, with a 1976ss spoke/disk
brake hub. I used two washers for a total of 5.5mm offset on the axel
to get a good chain alignment. (left side sprocket )
