    Sorry for the delay, i have been pre occupied. Been looking for a house to move out of Brooklyn. Moving up by Goldens Bridge / North Salem NY is this house purchase go through.

    I bought a rear wheel from an 83 xj900 and removed the clutch hub. The 83 xj900 rim has the gear ratio that will fit our pumpkins and the clutch hub is removable. I plan on throwing it on a lathe to change the outter diammer of the hub to fit on the CBR wheel. For the rubber bushings i was thinking of pouring making castings of the prongs/fingers that protrude into the wheel and fill the spaces with polly and let it harden and remove. Once i get setup in my own garage space i'll have more fun.

    However I did try to make a DIY lathe that almost worked, there were a lot of OH Sh#t moments where things went flying.
