The speedometer already reads a little too high (~10%), which a known with these Rebels. That's 1 reason for making it only slightly larger.
Larger front wheel.
Other than raising the front fender, what else is needed when putting on a slightly larger front wheel?
I already have the wheel, and it's been on a Rebel before, I just want to know if there are any roadblocks or dangers that haven't yet come to mind.

Like I said above the wheel was already been on another Rebel ('87). Someone had another rim respoked with a Rebel hub so it does fit & it is a centered 1st gen setup.
I plan to raise the fender.
So it seems that it'll work.
Now I just need to check for the trueness & such of it, because it'd been in a wreck. No impact, just poor "engineering" on the POs part
.
I'll definitely examine it very closely before trusting my life to it.

My wheel is buried in my new garage due to our recent move. When I find it... I'll post size & pictures.
