Please identify this hub/wheel ?

Hi members,
Like the heading says,
New one on me.
Nice to know what era it qualifies for as wheel.

Yah, picture success,
Brake drum diameter is 140mm.

Any markings on the rim and can you show brake side of hub

Have a look here at a KT250 front hub

It's a lot like yours but the KT is 120mm drum diameter and would need the speedo drive part machined off. I thought the designs were similar enough that yours could also be off a Kawasaki

Mick,it looks like a Husky wheel.140mm only came on the 74 Mag 250,all the rest of the Huskies were 160mm.

KL250A  1978

Looks close

Most certainly a Husky wheel. If it has a mud catcher rim it's pre'75 if not, it's '75/'76/'77. It could find a home here if you don't one for it there.

 Had me stumped. So apprecite all the replies. Yes the Kawaski one is very similar.
Yes Michael it does have a very good mudcatcher rim fitted. Looks to be a "light weight" hub, so worth restoring if I manage to find a complete backing plate at the right price?


But, a coupe of questions spring to mind now
-Are they a reasonable stopper?
-No doubt Husqvarna must of chosen a smaller 140mm to improve handling further for 1974 mag model?
-Are the 160mm Husky hubs a good stopper? And are they of a similar light weight construction too?

Thanks

Yes, they are good stoppers. The 400 in '74 had the bigger hub, mag250 had the smaller one, both work well.  I may have a "spare" backing plate, I'll have to go looking.
Cheers,
