So I just bought some thruxton wheels on ebay for very cheap. They're the standard issue thruxton rims, with spokes, minus the hubs. They're brand new!
So I want to put them on my Bonneville, because I've always wanted the lighter aluminum rims of the Thruxton over the steel and chromed Bonneville wheels.
I'm going to put some Ohlins thruxton length shocks on the back, and I've already put progressive springs in the front. I understand the front forks on the thruxton are a half-inch longer to compensate for the inch smaller front wheel. Is this true?
I should be good to go right? Just take off the wheels, remove the hubs, relace the hubs to the new thruxton rims, put on tires, bolt the wheels back on, and go, right?
