I'm looking for a front rim from an XS1 or 2. I need a rim from these models because they were equipped with a drum brake, and the spoke holes in the rim are drilled at different angles than a disc hub model. The rim doesn't necessarily need to be from a XS, either. Any 19", 36-hole rim that was laced to a 200mm drum would be fine. Early Kaw H1 or Honda CB77 spring to mind. Need not be in great shape, just useable. Thanks.

Why not lace it to a rear 18" rim like mine?

Good idea, but not the solution for me. I'm pretty set on keeping a 19" rim of about stock width on it. Thanks, though.
