hello i purchased a 18in spoke wheel from ebay
the seller had it listed, that it was off a 76 tx500

i obviously already know thats not correct cause 76's went back to being called xs500. another problem i have is that its a spoke wheel which from my research was not available in 76 only mags.

my problem is that the wheel needs bearings and dont know which model to order for. the bearing is held in by a thread ring as seen in the picture and the outer seals measures just a bit over 2in across.

also i need to order a brake drum as my stock xs650 one was not compatible due to it would not reach all the way to the bearing on the inside. insted it rubed on the outer ring seen in bare metal in the picture.

thank in advance

resized the pictures Smile

also thats the xs650 sprocket on there the one on the wheel was a 43tooth

just measure the old bearings I.D., O.D. and width then any good auto supply ought to be able to find bearings for it........ p.s. re size pics
xs500?
