Thanks for the input. As I expected rechroming the rims will be very expensive, as they have to strip, polish, and then re-plate.

I'll keep poking around and see what's out there for 16" chrome...

Any consensus on the best replacement rims?

Seeing as my C95 restoration is likely to live its life indoors and not get ridden much anytime soon (I have 5 other bikes in various states of running/project), I've decided the old rims and spokes...

I chased my threads with the M10x1.00 die which seemed to match it properly. Hope I didn't create a problem I didn't have before :)

Should have mentioned I'm in Canada which makes a $0.37 nut $15 once you ship it :)

Biggest problem I'm having is sourcing M10 x 1.00 pitch nuts and bolts for the rear suspension. Will likely have to order them.

Oh and the rigid is getting a custom springer front end. The stock forks are just there to hold it up. 1.5 inches of suspension travel isn't quite enough to get me out of my garage let alone down...

Married, but long enough that I get away with this :)

I bought the bike while I was in the middle of finishing my XS650 cafe (a year later the XS was on the road). In there I also bought my...

Appreciate the links - just went through your build (have looked at it before but not for some time). Some helpful bits in there for me (like put the levers on before the wiring in the bars ;))

Well on the topic of how to remove the nut and retaining ring, I re-read the how-to in this thread and noted the bit about slotting the top of the rod to make it easier. So I'll give that a shot :)...
