yep simple it is,,, wheel, spacers,, torque arm go together,,,
can,t mix and match,, its either std or roundy, it,s the bend in the torque arm that negates the need for the whole kit

My apologies, Paul. I was a bit brain dead when I posted last night. I should have just said that to fit the Standard wheel into the RH, you just have to use the spacer and brake torque arm off the standard. That's all.

Thanks Ev, very informative threads.
The lathe will come in handy for knocking up the odd spacer or two

Paul, there's a few pics in this thread which show the differences in the rear wheel spacers etc between my Special and the Standard rear wheel bits - Click

and here's some info from Bryan when he fitted the Roundy wheels to his Standard (prior to him now going totally apeshit on his bike) - Click

Roundy specs? The usual caliper torque arm swap?
Ev I,m not following, tell me more
The front and rear spoke wheels are going to be straight swaps for the original standard wheels. No further mods required

Paul, will you be machining the spoked hub to roundy specs, or will you just go with the usual caliper torque arm / spacer swap?

I like the idea, would really like to take the spokey for a run too hmmm..............maybe the roundy with spoked wheels, good incentive to get both projects finished

Just a thought.

How many RHs do we have?

What a great tribute to Lil Scotty if we arrived en massed on our roundness.

There should be at least 10.
