Just a small suggestion Nick. I would chanfer the edges of the hub to fill with weld. I would also cut a slice in between the spokes for the same purpose. Doing it that way allows you to machine the welding in order to fit the dust cover onto the rim... See below...

Fred, i know about the chamfers But there was a problem - this rim is from a CBR1100XX. It has too big hub, so I had to make a step 3 mm high to compencate the difference between stock rim and this one. So I didn't need chamfer - I welded hub and rim by this step.
Next time I think to take different rim that will fit better. What bike rim did you use for your project?
BTW, the dust cover will fit - i'll make additional work, when i'll find it Right now it's some sort of a problem - my workshop is a huge mess

Here, i'll put a picture with dimensions, that will help others build such rim:
71,15 - length from one end of the hub to tha center of the rim.
8,2 - length from the end of the hub to the end of the CBR1100XX rim. It's the biggest dimension on the rim.
Here is how you can make calculations: for example, you have rim from the CBR1100XX. It has 158,7 mm width. divide it by 2, you'll have 79,35 mm to the center of the rim. Subtract 71,15 from 79,32 and you'll have dimension between the end of the rim and the end of hub - 8,2 mm. Machine parts of the wheel and hub to fit one another with these numbers, and you'll have the rim centered.

Exactly what i did, but bare in mind that you need to make sure the wheel fits in the swingarm and we have to pay attention to the brake side as well in order to have space to fit an adapter plate. This rim was made using a suzuki rim.

My customer dissapeared for nearly a month. But now the wheel is mounted on bike. Today he posted photos of his bike. It took 10 hours to apply some modifications to the wheel to complete project. It was late night when he left my garage

Aaaahhahah!!!! It's really funny with the russian license plate. It's 245x185 mm. Stupidest thing. And ugly also...
As guy said, the rotor is standert, but from the old, first gen vmax. But it looks like something different. Don't know for sure...
