Might be worthwhile having a word with the Guys at Baines Racing:

They must have lots of experience after crafting the Imola replica:

21" front wheel should be interesting, Supermoto would be a better choice

Something like these but I would be asking for Rim sizes and if your intending using a twin disc setup you would need to know if the front wheel can take a second disc

Early Yamaha front hubs could be laced to later 17" Akront or Excel Rims,
But without one to try or measure up you wouldn't know which calipers could be used.

Although some prices are OTT for that classic part

When the Sport Classic Race series was proposed a few years ago (2008 I think) I'm fairly certain the Demo Bike was adorned with a Set of AP Lockheed 4-Pots specially made to clear the spokes

Guys, thanks for all the info

It's a bit too much for me at the moment

I am at the stage of needing to be told which wheels will fit:(

I would't know where to start so I reckon I will stick to the originals for the time being

As I get more knowledge I can have a look again

I am thankful for your input, and I am always impressed by how much you guy know and are willing to help:)

Gonna start working on the monster loom and figure out where it all goes!

Regards
