Is there a good vendor for ali rims for these bikes? Not sure on sizes yet, probably stock widths but maybe go 18 rear and front.

Actually what works best on early h1s for handling and tyre choice? Its for a short track race bike I'm building.

A 2.15 front and 2.50 rear (18's) give a good base for the tire sizes that work well with the 500's. 100 front and 110-120 rear. Jim Hobbs knows a good place. He should chime in......

I like Woody's Wheelworks, but they're pretty far from NZ.

That seems skinny. What is stock widths on early H1s?
