Does anyone have the specs for the rear rim offset on a 1972 Tiger 650 with a drum brake?
Tks

There is a website where you can download the service manual, not sure if it would have that info or not. I don't have the link, but try a search for that link here, or possibly someone can furnish it. I have a '71 Tiger, and although I don't know what the rear rim offset is, if it is something I can measure for you, I'd be glad to do it.

I just went in the shop and measured a conical wheel.
Laying a straight edge across the Hub (sprocket side) to rim and I came up with 1"13/16.
I hope this help's you.
