Fish, The H/A caliper hole is too big for the axle.....any idea's what I need? Does it use the stock spacers or is mine missing that? I can take a pic if that helps.

It should have a combination spacer/collar. It needs to be the correct length to center the wheel and correct diameter to mount the caliper bracket. This pic shows the collor for the Grimeca caliper. The H/A caliper is free floating on the on the spacer/collar (it is a single piston and needs to float), where as the Grimeca is in a locked position (twin piston and has to be locked in place).
My wheels came with the spacers needed. I have made conversions where I would turn down a stock spacer to accept the caliper bracket, but most the time I would just machine up a new spacer.

Fish, Thanks.......thats what I thought. The seller told me a kz900 ltd spacer will work but I don't think so. I have a parts bike so i'll check anyway.
Never head of those Melber rims. Its that for a kz900?

Still not home Henry?? :laugh:
Fish, question for ya as you seem to know the most about aftermarket rims. I picked up a Yamaha XS650 and it has a true star shaped mag on the front. Is that a H-A? I'll work on posting a pic.....I don't know s**t about Yamaha's....

They are the rare "Pentagram" wheels. I have been told that they were made by Shelby-Dowd for Yamaha. The Pentagram wheels and Shelby wheels are both unmarked and have the insides painted.I cant confirm who made them, but Shelby is a likely candidate.
I have only seen 3 sets and I have owned 2 of the sets. I have a set on my 76 Street Tracker.

Heres a link to my website page that shows alot of the vintage mags that were available.

You the MAN Fish! I'm guessing you sold the other set you had? Would you mind telling when you got for them? I only have the front.......the rear is a aluminum shouldered rim. This bike is going to be sold as I have too many and need to thin them out. Wondering if I should pull it off or what?
Thank you for the great responce!! One of these days, I may have to contact you about a big brake kit for my z1r. Very nice stuff!
