The stock front hub uses a rim that the part of the rims that bolts to the hub is in the center of the rim. They don’t make them anymore (guess Douglas might in a .125) but its 8"dia x 8" wide. Most all the better tires now are 9" or 10" dia. The rims in 9" or 10" dia aren't centered they have a 3" x 5" offset. You can’t use them on the front cuz the rim would sit to far to one side. So I made a spindle/hub that is offset 1" to the one side. The other thin is all the new rims are 4x110mm bolt/hubs so I machined it basically so any Honda rear rim can be used on the front of the '81/'82. My 480 there is using 200x front forks and brakes. The rotor is bigger but is mated to the spindle. To run the Hoosiers I need a 10" rims and it worked perfectly.

I'll take some close ups of it and pull the rim off so you guys can see it better

I agree this bike is too cool! Been chomping at the bit to buy your parts for a "some day" project myself! Sweet build!
