Anyone ever swapped out a hub in a motorcycle wheel?

['00 WO-YA!]

Well, I got my wheel from Generation Cycle, it wasn't described as a specific 465 wheel so I took a chance. Well, I checked it with trying to put my brake drum in it & mine's bigger, just my luck. I guess now my next step is to swap the hubs out, anyone ever done that? I need a lil advice.

Just remember how to lace the wheel back up. Did you buy that bike?

 

['00 WO-YA!]

Yeah Beastly, had to own it man, makin the guy personal payments, lol! It was too classic to let go of & I may just take the engine off the bike, put the bike in my basement corner & mock the engine up on my spare Warrior chassis. I think Warrior 465 has a hell of a ring to it + I'm a fan of 2 smokers, always have been.

That'd be a good project man. I still need to get my stuff swapped over, it's so busy this time a year.

I hear ya. It's hard for me not to go look at this piece for meself. New plastic...shiny bits...silly HP...old skool kool...hmmm...

Old school cool! That's what I like man, if I had the funds I'd have a handful of Oldschool cool pieces. I'd add a nice Banshee, I'd try to find another Purple/Black/Yellow '95 Blasty like the one I had back in the day, I'd have a black/red '86 Tri-Z, aatleast one cool water cooled YZ 250, a 250 quad Suzuki, a Quadzilla, a Tecate 4, & Prolly a 250R even though I'm not a Honda man. They were still Badass Oldschool cool pieces. I already have the Warrior so that's taken care of & I kinda wouldn't mind having a Mojave, lol! Sorry, huge run-on. I like old stuff man, I had to keep the 465 cause it was born the same year as me ya know.

Well, I haden't gotton around to this project but I've been soaking the wheel for like a week now. Might even use a lil propane torch for heat on some of the stubborn ones, that's worked well for me in the past on some smaller stuff. I called a one of the shops in the area today just to get a quote on having it done for the Hell of it... 2hrs labor @ $60/hr & roughly $100 for a set of Aftermarket spokes, this is if I cut the old ones out. Damn, gotta find a way to do this myself or atleast a cheaper alternative.
