Where would the braces be? my friend never had any issues that I'm aware of. I did find a bent rear axle. But now its a little to late. The frame is now being powder coated, so it is what it is.

Thank you for the information, I will save it, as you can see the frame has already been powder coated. If I have any problems I will strip the frame and do some welding, the re powder coat.

Now that the engine is being done with a new MTC 1428 block with 10:5.1 compression. I also sent Larry a new transmission with a billet 2nd gear and back cut. While Larry is working on that I am polishing wheels and front suspension. Can anyone identify this rim? I would like another 8" wide, does anyone know where to find one? Here are pictures of before and after polish, little more to do before done.

really cool project you have going here.
the rear wheel looks like a vintage spun aluminum performance machine wheel but i couldn't find any info to support that.

This thread has some useful info:

I agree that they are likely Performance Machine wheels. But it looks like they only do Harley stuff now. But you could try to call them.

Thanks fore the information about the rim, I currently have found a company who can take the rim I have and widen it to what ever size I want. That's good, but the problem will be the hub. I would need to widen the hub as well, which would be an additional expense for a machinist to make new bearing spacers. Lot to think about. I would like to run at least a 200 rear tire.

is there a reason you can't have a spacer made to move the sprocket out?
seems that would be cheaper than a whole hub.

531 blackbanshee, you are correct. I may have been a little confusing with my words. I went today to a local machine shop and I was told $700 to make spacers. 1'' - 6'' doesn't matter size labor is same. That is for both sides, sprocket and disc. I have a lot to think about. That will be a lot of money just to fit a 200 rear tire. On the other hand I cant find the rim wider, so what choice do I have?
