Hi.
Yes , the wheel looks cool.
Got it widened with "Kosman Specialties". It was not cheap, about 400+ dollars, about 3 years ago.
But I liked the look of a stock wheel, Comstar, but widened. That money is not much if you like the wheel and realize getting a tire, wheel, swingarm, uni shock and calipers amongst parts needed for a conversion to some modern bike suspension ( plus front wheel, tire, and adaptation needed like spacers and the like unless purchasing corresponding modern bike forks ) ... would fetch.
Needed no adaptations, spacers, sprocket, nothing at all. Just a bolt on operation.
I think it looks great and performs even better than it looks.
The front wheel is also a Comstar, but a Honda CBX 1000 (pro link model) which is also same diameter as the stock Honda 750 wheel, but a tad wider. From stock 2.1 to 2.5 Does not sound much wider, bit it shows, and the tire (110-80-19) expands to its fullest, better than on the original 2 in wheel.
Best part, no adaptations needed, straight bolt on.
