That is awesome, as well as a damn clever and easy idea. Wouldn''t take long at all to draw up a set of those rings. It's cominf up with the idea in the first place that makes him a bloody clever bastard.

Seeing this just reminds me of how smart I'm not
Relatively easy way of putting some wider rubber on a CX500 cafe racer.

Rings easy yes, working out hole placement yucky......
We are making a rear for my son's cx 500 at the moment but using super motard rim in the front

Don't be too hard on yourself - this guy didn't invent the idea.
He does sell the "plates" though for $129 USD a set....ouch...

HHHHMMM upon reflection although very clever, but why?
Just get some wire hubs and convert??
Its a bit difficult with a cx 500 as its a shaft drive

The old CB900s and CBX1000s had comstars, it would be good to see them with spoked wheels.
But there's a lot of other spectucularly awful Comstar wheeld hondas which are best left in the dustbin of the 1980s and not revived, spoked wheels or not.

The CBX's and Rolladors were all chain drive - so wheel swaps where dead easy compared to the shaft drive CX500. That's why the conversion is interesting.
Not sure why the dude bothered doing the front wheel though.....
