Front and rear ? Are you using the stock 285mm rear disc ? Just asking because I'm using spokes and my Talon rear is being awkward.

what wheels have you got then??

XS650 front hub, S/S spokes, Morad alloy rim and OW01 discs. Talon rear hub, S/S spokes, Morad alloy rim and an Aprilia Dorsoduro cush drive. I've worked out the adaptor for fitting the cush to the hub but, looking at how the Talon is made, I may just make a hub from scratch.

the triumph wheel has a nice cush drive and they are really cheap but a bit skinny hence im having the wider rim fitted...

I got my rear Morad ali 5.5 rim from Hagon. Tell them what hub you are using and they'll drill the rim to suit.
