I'm looking out for suggestions on wheels from anyone who has done a custom project...see the GN has similar outer diameter tyres, but the rear rim is 16" and the front is 18". Don't really like the chunky look at the back. I'd like to put an 18" rim on the back. Is it best to find a wheel from a different bike that will bolt straight on? (Scorpio? etc) Maybe re-lace the rear wheel to keep the current hub but find an 18" rim that would fit. I have seen numerous examples online of GNs with either 2 16s or 2 18. I think having the wheels equal sized makes the bike look a little less low end cruiser and a little more refined.
(Note my use of "Custom" and not "Cafe Racer"...I'd like to say I'm working on a cafe but the GN would never do the ton!)
Before you go and bag on my GN, chances are you have not ridden one that has been lowered, lightened, and adulterated. It is actually a scream to ride and sounds awesome.
