RS250 Swingarm - what wheel and brake setup?

#1 Post by stealthdj » Thu Mar 14, 2024 8:14 am

Hi all,

Am (finally) getting back in to my build after, er, about 15 years of ignoring it. The bike I acquired was enough of a mess and had enough missing that I'm not going back to standard, so the idea is for an 'R5' restomod-type build.

To that end, I've acquired an untouched RS250 swingarm, ready to go off for modification, but before I do, figured I should check what wheel / caliper combinations people are running in this setup? I assume the standard RS250 wheel is an option, but I'd like to run vaguely matching wheels front and rear, plus RS250 calipers and anchor plates seem to be like hen's teeth.

I plan to go with some sort of USD setup for the front end, for what it's worth.

Cheers in advance for all pointers / suggestions / abuse :)
