Hi all I am in the process of building a Storm Streetfighter witha 954 Blade front end conversion
I took a punt on ebay and got a pair of what I thought were blade wheels.
The wheels seem to be from a Honda Blackbird but have no markings as they have been polished out
Dose anyone know if the front wheel will fit a 929/954 Blade front end?

Re: Wheels

They are the easy bit to make :-) worry about the discs first .Duffy1964 wrote:I will check that matey,![]()

Here are some bearing sizes that most Hondas use .
The part number might be handy when ordering some

Re: Wheels
as lloydie says check the disc are going to be the right,the spacers and bearings are the easy bit.
isnt the blackbird wheel similar to the storm one?

Cheers for the info Lloydie

Yes James it's a 3 spoke like the storm and blade 929, that is why I took a punt as I thought it may have been a 929 wheel as seller was not sure

Re: Wheels
i hope it works for you,
i used 954 tripples, r1 forks wheel and callipers just had to space the calipers in 2mm due to fork spacing. the 929 and 954 wheel was quite rare when i was looking for one or the price was too high

Re: Wheels
Cheers James, didn't know about the R1 option tbh, would have been easier but got a blade 954 complete front end now.
The wheel I took a punt on is not any good as disc stud holes are smaller centres than the blade, but bigger than the storm
I will sell it on and keep looking, I have a 954 wheel, but looks like its had a repair, so will hold out for a better one and keep other as a spare just in case
Thanks for your help fella's

Re: Wheels
never trust the seller of front wheels......
not sure this one will be cheap, as it has a lot of bids already....
