G'day there!
Don't seem to see much of that model anymore? Have you laced on a different front rim? didn't think they were chrome?

Thanks for the welcome.

The entire front wheel is from a Yamaha SR250, got it from a wreckers, surprisngly easy to fit with some suitable spacers, it even allowed me to reuse the original Honda back plate/shoes etc.

The bike had been powercoated and cleaned up before I got it, so most of how it looks now is not all my work.
