i want to swap out my xs400 specials mag wheels with spokes, they made a spoked version and say the wheels fit no problem. i have even found some on ebay. BUT the spoked rims had drum brakes mine has disk, i don't want to lose the disk brakes. also, would it be okay to buy used spokes from the early eighties, or should i find new hubs, spokes and rims? if its best to find new wheels rather than used, where do i find them? i don't mind threading them or anything, i have worked on bicycle wheels and imagine it cannot be too much more difficult to work with.
sub question, where the hell do i get a headlamp for an 81 xs400? there's nothing in this town. and the local dealer wanted to charge me seventy dollars.
