GL1000 Front Wheel Swap?

[2speed]

Hello Out There.
I have a 350X19 front tire on this Project Scooter, I want to install a Larger One...Like a 450X19. I have Searched the Web, with no Luck!! I'm Guessing they just don't make a Tire that Size?
Question: Do ya Think its Possible to change the Rim Size & Keep the Old Hub?
Like installing a 17" or 18" Rim with new Spokes?
There must be a Web-Site out there that Sells the Parts to do just That?
What-Do-Ya-Think?

you can go here and search the 19" choices . there are the best prices I have found.
not a lot to choose from when it comes to 19" though.

Just remember that the fork lowers are still a limit, but folks do put on smaller diameter rims with larger tires so there must be room to grow it.

I've seen plenty of instances where someone laced a Harley wheel to a Honda hub.

The back wheel is more popular, I used to run a HD 16" on the back of a CB550. Coolest rims I ever had were on a 68 Bultaco, hands down.
