- NEW PRODUCT -

A practical guide for selecting and setting-up the popular Honda and Yamaha small brake drum wheels on Chopper Front Ends


Always wanted to build a wild front end but don't know how??? 

Now you have what you need to do it - and do it right! 


The classic old school wheel trick on the chop above still rules today as more and more builders are rediscovering the Classic Honda and Yamaha Small Brake Drum Wheel.

*******
Here's t
he age old Chopper builder's dilemma:
You want that old school chop look but you don't know what wheel will get you the clean look of a spool and have real braking power to boot. Discs are too large and detract from the look of the front end. And the custom aftermarket mini brake wheels look cheap; have no real braking power and list for over $300.

Take Heart - The answer for the Narrow Springer and Girder is the Small Brake Drum Honda and Yamaha Wheels from the 60's and 70's.

Pictured above is an all aluminum hub, 70's Honda wheel available in 17-18-19 and 21-inch varieties typical of those used on Chops with Girder and Springer front ends in the early 70's. It’s a real sweet looking wheel, fits perfectly between the legs of a narrow Springer, stops a bike nicely and all brake parts are still widely available.

But... How do I adapt it ? EASY... Now there's a How-To Book!

This step by step guide is the most comprehensive writing on the subject to date. Over thirty pages packed with invaluable knowledge and money making information for the home builder and professional alike.  Loaded with new, previously un-published materials, including over fifty photographs and illustrations developed exclusively by Guinns Engineering specifically for this manual.
