This is my first post and hopefully i can get sum help with a project ive just started.

I need to know what spoked wheels can fit on a XV1000 / TR1.

I've just bought myself a 1981 TR1. They have the standard 5 spoke rims and I want to get some sopked wheels for it like the one in the picture.

Its the nicest example i heve seen to date and am keen to create a similar cafe racer.

any help would be appreciated.

cheers

Hi,
Don't quote me, but the yamaha XS650's from had 18 rear and 19 front the same as a TR1 they had spoke wheels on them on off from 72-83

The TR1 has a chain drive so the XS650 wheels will work fine and you could even look at a disk brake rear as I think some of the 650's were disk rear. The XV1000 had a shaft drive so that would make things complicated but I imagine you've got the TR1 as they were'nt called the XV1000 until later. And it hurts me to say this but the SR500 wheels are the same as the XS650 ones and they make these in cast as well as spokes.

None of the wire wheel XS650 had disc rears

If you want a disc rear look at a rear wheel from a adventure bike,or the late seventies early eighties Kawasaki, Suzuki and Hondas

I cafe'd a TR1 in the eighties in Oz (they were sold as xv1000 in australia, TR1 was the name used in Europe, xv920 in the states. The RH and RJ models had chain drive, 81 and 82) Anyway, I used an xs650 from wheel which fitted straight on. I used an old cb750 wheel for the back and some spacers had to be made. If I did it again I would use a honda br(?) 500 wheel - I think they were spoked - with a wider rim laced into it.

good luck!
