Hi kansloos161,
I'm working on my custom FT as well. I was wondering what's the source of those nice spoke wheels that you intend to install. :D :D
Cheers

You have my greatest respect young sir, I at least have a small back garden in which I can park ( although access is a little difficult) and work on my bikes on a hard if slightly sloped standing. I'd not want to do all you're doing, but then maybe you have youth on your side. My older bones find working on bikes on ground level to be a bit of a strain these days, I dream of a garage, or even a big shed like I used to have. I must talk to my friend who owns a workshop and see if he'll be happy for me to do work there, sometimes. Anyway, I'll be watching to see how this goes. All power to you.

Thanks, so far I manage with the space in front of my house, I would really like to have a shed or back yard too, would really speed up the whole process and the fun in doing it.

The front spoked wheel is from a Yamaha xs650. I do not know if its the original rim. The front hub is great, it gives the oppertunity to install dual brakes and the hole pattern is very common.
The rear wheel is from a BMW r650 funduro. The BMW uses it the other way around (sprocket on the right hand side) but since the tire has to be replaced anyway that shouldn't be a problem
