sorry you'll just have to wait as i have no money to buy one till pay day wich is 2 weeks away - that is unless anyone would like to sponsor me a triumph/ducati 3spoke rear wheel

ok i've sourced a cheep trumpet rear wheel but it's 17"x6".
will i get the 6" rim in?

Where there's a will, there's a way!

:D

I got hold of a 3spoke 6x17.
First messurements make me think it will be quite hard to make this fit.
Stud spacing is correct (85mm diam), but the wheel hub offset will put the wheel center line around 12mm out to the rhs. That will mean machining the wheel 12mm and I don´t think there is enough material there. You only have 4-5mm of possible swingarm displacemet to the LHS with the chain being the limiting factor... so...going to be difficult if someone tries.
And , of course, all this is just to start off.

Well... here´s my deal. Not cheap, but does the trick for my needs.
Ducati marchesini 5 spoke 17x5.5 + machined cone + 3mm wheel spacer + boring wheel center + 165x55x17 KR108 slick tyre.

Wheel inner diameter has to be machined to 51mm and 46mm to fit the hub. When you get this done also get 8mm off (marked in red) to clear the brake disc nuts at the hub.
The 3mm spacer (should be finished by tomorrow)is intended to match wheel center line not for tyre clearance issues.
Rim size was chosen to fit the KR108 slick tyre.
With this config I can still use standard rims since there are no mods made to the 30/35 hub.
