not sure on the wheels yet either the more I dig into the whole stearing issue that is the biggest thing I have to keep the bike from being able to be road worthy. I have been using dragonfly to figure out part numbers while I wait for the shop manual to arrive. I know the front wheel bolt wont be long enough to use the ceraini forks so will have to replace that.

The Ceriani Arces forks I am thinking will be the fastest to get fitted to the bike. Tonight I am going to try and see what the matchup is on the brakes on the existing wheel to the ceriani forks. If all else fails I may need to just get a new wheel for the front to fit the forks.

Learning a lot about parts and pieces that I never thought about on a bike would be an issue. Going to try and also get a dry rough fit of the ceriani forks to make sure the turn stop is not going to be an issue also.

Also going to start taking the electrical listing and start getting parts while I work out the wheel and fork issues. Get a couple things going at the same time so then I always have something to work on when time permits.

I want to thank everyone for your help and I have attached the photos of the 2 front wheels I have. I think the one with the cables attached is an orig wheel but I am not sure where to find the model numbers but based on pics I have seen I think all the holes and stuff match with the orig. Not sure what the other one is. The other one has a stamp calling out Westminster England so assuming it might be a triumph wheel. The other one that I think is orig is stamped British something on the opposite side of all the brake hardware.
