New member
I'm putting my Ural sidecar on my new to me 1980 BMW R100T. I want to have spoke wheels and need to know what I can fit front and rear. Any advice is appreciated.

Welcome to the forum, Rocky! I'll be interested to hear what might fit...I believe there are some fitment issues with spokes vs snowflakes...but I forget which way the conflict goes.
 
OEM wheels

The OEM spoke wheels should fit fine with the ATE front calipers. The Brembos are the odd ball fit.
 
Some bikes

Some of the early /7 bikes had spoked wheels.

If I recall, spoked wheels were only on bikes with the drum rear brake including the one year 77 RS. I also believe on the front end, the brakes would have been ATE as mentioned. St.
 
Spoke wheels for ‘81-‘84 big bikes are very rare. They were produced for the R100CS, but I believe the USA importer only ordered these bikes with snowflakes. The front hubs are different on these bikes compared to earlier models.

Pretty much everything for ‘77-‘80 bikes is interchangeable.
