[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 176939, member: 60"] the crome shortage Thats why my 52 Trophy is the only year they did not have a crome tank I note that rims were still cromed. a little more about a taveners jig given a true but rusty wheel (or a borrowed one) mount it on a firm surface (I had an old kitchen work surfacet) firmly securing the hub with a dummy spindle and using some short pieces of angle iron, steel packers and shims accurately locate the rim in 4 positions. cut the spokes off (or if a borowed wheel substitute your hub in the center) and add a new rim then, following your photo (you did take some diddent you?) lace up und tighten till spokes all ring true. You will be amazed how close it is, as I say I had to do this with a hub center front wheel and back in the frame it only needed the slightest of tweeks Its all in the vintage motorcycle owners workshop book [/QUOTE]
